...From a longer piece - Places You'll Want to Visit - Santa Fe, NM
With a well-known vibrant arts scene, the city of Santa Fe offers so many ways to honor your inner artist. On a recent visit to the area, I dropped in at the Shidoni Bronze Foundry and Gallery and the accompanying Tesuque Glassworks.
Just a short drive out of Santa Fe and tucked away in the rural village of Tesuque, I found myself reflecting on styles of different sculptors from all over the country while meandering through the Shidoni sculpture gardens eating an apple from their orchard. I went inside to watch local artisans blow and create pieces of glasswork and caught the opportunity to watch molten bronze being poured into molds.
This gallery offers visitors a welcoming environment to discover forms of artistic media. Come see, learn, enjoy the expression of art; you may even get to walk away with the glass bowl you watched being made, like I did!
