The Café on 66

Emily Brock has been working primarily with glass as her artistic media for over 30 years. Employing a combination of various techniques including fusing, slumping, casting, and lampworking, Brock creates detailed dioramas—sometimes inhabited, sometimes not. The three works in RAM’s collection—including The Café on 66—reflect the care and precision in Brock’s process, as well as a “fairy tale” quality that arises when these spaces are miniaturized and translated into glass.
