Sandy McCormick, beach glass folk artist
Sandy McCormick, beach glass folk artist Why beach glass?Sandy McCormick’s love affair with beach glass started with a trip to Russia where a fellow tourist, from Seattle, invited her to visit once she returned home. At Margaret’s house, Sandy observed a table, lit by fluorescent tubes, with many colourful pieces of beach glass placed on the lighted surface. The glass sparkled and the varied textures of the pieces glowed as they blended into a multi-hued mosaic. Sandy thought that was the most beautiful table she had ever seen and vowed to start collecting beach glassthat very day.That was in April, 1974. Fifteen years later, when she first visited Texada, Sandy had not quite filled a two-litre jar with her collection. Then, as miners would say, she struck the mother lode. There are several Texada sites which are former refuse dumps where only glass and rusty metal remain. Decades of immersion in salt water with rusty metal turned many pieces of glass a yellow-golden color, which is unique to Texada. One major site is the proposed location of the liquid natural gas plant an Alberta company wants to build. If the project proceeds, the site would be lost forever to collector
