Gyararii
DogmawGlass welcomes you to our gallery - or, as the Japanese say, since they "Japanify" a word when it's adoped - Gyararii.
Here you will find the humble attempts of our own shopmonkeys as they put glass to flame, and an ever growing list of the breathtaking work of other guest artists from around the world as they do their stuff with Satake glass.
If you want to submit your work to be included in our Satake glass gyararii, or want to join in the community in the album comments, go ahead and register, and we will take it from there! Or, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, requests, nigerian email scams, etc you can drop us a line - shopmonkeys(at)dogmawglass(dot)com

Sarah Hornik, a well established Israeli soft glass lampworker with a worldwide online following, heard about Satake Glass and wanted to give it a try... which led her to (ahhhh! look out! shameless self promotion!) [b]DogmawGlass, the Artists Online Source for Satake Glass[/b]. One sample pack later, and she was hooked.
Japanese lampworkers do amazing work with Satake, and they have an unmistakable Japanese aesthetic that Satake Glass was designed for. Sarah, though, takes the look and feel of Satake and makes it her own - she shows what can happen when East meets West, and we likes it. That's why she was our [b]Featured Artist[/b] of 2007!
Okay, so now 2008 is gone, with no featured artist rising to the challenge. It's 2009 already - where's the new Featured Artist? Could it be... YOU? We're always on the hunt, if you have any suggestions...

Oh, and the reason

the subdomain is [i]sajiki[/i] and not gyararii is because it was chosen in an attempt to somehow Japanese up the place before we found out it is an archaic word. Although it means "gallery", we now have it on good authority that it's not gallery in terms of "art on display place" but more "where people are placed to watch things place", which is why if it's used at all in Japan, it means a balcony in a theater (thanx Emiko!). However, we decided it shall remain enshrined here as a good example of good intentions gone bad, resulting in reverse engrish. ^_^
