Blowing Rock — In the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum’s new exhibit, artist Sarah Vaughn blends tactile exploration with personal reflection through her presentation of thousands of glass-blown rocks.

Initially a small-scale endeavor, the exhibit “Considerations: An Installation by Sarah Vaughn” showcases a stunning collection of 3,147 glass rocks that blur the line between nature and craftsmanship.

“Glass is really magical,” Vaughn said. “I really believe anything is possible with this material.”
