Feast From the Funace

A unique Liberty Arts fundraiser - glass blowing and gourmet food- plus, take home a handblown glass flower to celebrate the advent of Spring.

Glass blowing demonstrations by Durham-based designer Elijah Leed. Watch as he makes beautiful hand-blown glass art while you sip wine and feast on a series of small plate foods cooked in the same furnace. The evening will kickoff with a glass of wine and a leisurely tour of the Liberty Arts studio where you can interact with some of our very talented artists and browse the art they create.

This one-of-a-kind fundraising dining event is one you won’t want to miss.

Tickets available here.

Your chef for the evening will be James Cundiff. James has been cooking in restaurants for over 20 years from the deep south to the Northeast, and is the Executive Chef at the Willard in the AC Hotel, downtown Raleigh. James studied at the Culinary Institute of America and finds inspiration in preparing plant-based dishes.

James has developed a special Mediterranean menu for this "spring-themed", cooking and dining experience. Not all foods cook well at 1500-2000 degrees!

You'll depart the event having had a unique culinary experience, a handmade glass flower to remember it by and be much more knowledgeable about the glassblowing process.

NOTE: For Covid safety, all attendees must be fully vaccinated and boosted and will be asked to show evidence upon entry. We are also limiting the number of tickets for this Feast.
