It is a ritual that many of us partake in this time of year: Rising before the sun, gathering with other devotees in the dark and then finally gaining access to the flamed-filled inner sanctum.
I'm talking, of course, about the Hilltop Artists in Residence annual holiday glass sale. It's 9 a.m. - noon, Saturday, Dec. 13 at Jason Lee Middle School. But veterans know you can arrive as early as 7 a.m. to get a numbered ticket for entry later.
Those numbers are important because only so many potential buyers are allowed in at a time and it's first come first served for the student art.
Why all the competition to get in? Because you have access to glass art at rock bottom prices.
These are students and some of the work has a ways to go before it's gallery level. But, you can always find gems. I bought a cobalt blue vase with a white lip years ago that I'm very happy with despite it's uneven base and bubbles.
All proceeds go to help this great program pay for student scholarships and materials.
Jason Lee is at Sprague and 6th Avenue in Tacoma.
Earlier this season, HART kids made Christmas tree ornaments to represent Washington State at the White House Christmas Tree lighting event Dec. 4. HART has participated in the event since 2004.
