Got Nug?
A revolutionary snowboard needs to look revolutionary, so when Burton Snowboards needed a design for their amazing new NUG, they came to Bern Glass. Our artists Tito, Jonny K., and Matt Gibson busted it out and what you see here is the very first glass snowboard collab. It features a blown up section of fume work done in-house at The Bern Gallery, and has been carefully constructed by the masters at Burton so it rides as sick as it looks!

Austin should be very proud! M.E. is officially the first Pipe Classic competitor to win both First Place AND the honor of glassblowers’ choice. But this was not the only first – There were naked women in the gallery, an actual functioning guitar as a competitor’s entry and the most amout of work ever completed by one competitor in the 12 hours allotted.
The Bern Gallery would like to thank Willy & Wally from Glass Torch Technologies. They have far surpassed any previous level of sponsorship. This year’s donation exceeded $10,000 in prizes and without them there would be no Pipe Classic.

As some may know, a Pipe Classic 5 competitor’s house burned down just before this year’s competition.
Although nothing can replace the loss from a tragedy like this, Kurt B, B3nj4m1n, Hickory, and Sarah C. made a collab during The Classic and donated it to the auction. Borosyndicate, a Pipe Classic 5 sponsor, also bought this competitor an airplane ticket at the last miniute. It was great to see the love in our industry when it’s needed most.
Bern Gallery would also like to thank all of this year’s competitors, Kurt B., Eron Ziel, Aaron Sokol,
Project Exposure Magazine, The Pipe Classic committee and all of this year’s judges.
As always, NOTSOX productions is producing a movie of Pipe Classic 5. Look for it on sale in 2011.

Philly is strong. First place in 2 out of the last 4 Bern Gallery Pipe Classics. Snic won first place with an amazing piece pulled off in the final heat, but everyone’s piece was equally as impressive as they were different. Will another city every prove to be as strong as the years go on?
This year Glass Torch Technologies stepped up their donation yet again, totaling over $10,000 in torches. Without GTT, Pipe Classic wouldn’t be the same.

We thought it would be fun to have a pipe making competition judged by the people.
So we did...
Each artist had 12 hours to complete a functional pipe. 6 hours on day one and 6 on day two. Any cold working had to be performed in the 12 hour period. The only rules were that the entire piece had to be made on Bern Gallery grounds, finished in 12 hours and made from scratch.
The artists were:
G.E.
Elijah Schwartz
Kurt B.
Marbleslinger
Mr. Gray
B3NJ4M1N
Jason "Live Free" Gordon
Willow
Quinn
B.C.... Hastings
JAG
All 12 pieces were displayed anonymously and voted on by 100 judges. Each judge could only vote once and for 1 piece.
Results:
Glass... choice----1st-Kurt B.
Judges choice
1st-Jason "Live Free" Gordon
2nd-Kurt B.
3rd-Mr. Gray
4th-Elijah Schwartz
