- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am – Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: We're so excited to team up once again with The Rockwell Museum to host emerging contemporary artists! This year, we welcome neon artists Meryl Pataky and Kelsey Issel of She Bends in San Francisco, CA. They will work collaboratively with the Hot Glass Team to experiment and realize new designs in glass.

See Meryl and Kelsey in the Amphitheater Hot Shop on March 24, 26, and 27 from 10 am–4 pm. The Museum is closed March 25.

Meryl Pataky is a multidisciplinary artist and educator whose work explores the relationship between the hand and material. Working with neon, welding, and mixed media, she creates abstract sculptural forms that consider connection, transformation, and the spirituality embedded in craft. Her recent work, shaped by the experience of motherhood, reflects on resilience and personal evolution through the physical language of heat, breath, and timing. 

Kelsey Issel is a culture worker and maker whose practice centers the ethos of craft—learning through doing, cultivating attention, and recognizing the social responsibility held within materials. She leads Opie Project (space), an arts and culture firm that develops cross-sector programs investing in cultural capital, with partners including the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Headlands Center for the Arts, the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the Port of San Francisco, and Coca-Cola.
