Master Crystal Cutter to Speak at Taylor Community
July 1, 2016
In 1968, Pepi Herrmann came to the U.S. with a dream, a vision and a goal to revive the lost art of crystal cutting. Today with more than 50 years of experience, he’s one of the few Master Crystal Cutters in the country.
Mr. Herrmann will present a program on crystal cutting at Taylor Community’s Woodside Building Monday, July 11 at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, but reservations are requested by calling 524-5600.
Mr. Herrmann’s mastery of this time-honored craft is exquisitely reflected in in his traditional designs, but has also found beauty and form in the contemporary field. He’s a tireless and dedicated artisan who personally selects the pieces of crystal to be cut. Only after each piece is completed and passes Pepi’s final and critical inspection will it be inscribed with the Pepi Herrmann signature – his personal proclamation of accomplishment and approval.
