Visit Fairfield County

Visit the Ohio Glass Museum and Glassblowing Studio for a new exhibit, "Earth, Hand, & Fire" featuring glass from the Dana Shouldis Collection, a 104-piece gift of Fenton Glass given to the museum from the estate of Mary Helen Hunt, and many glass items selected from the Ohio Glass Museum archives. 

Running concurrently with Flower Power: Flora in Fashion in the Decorative Art Center of Ohio's lower gallery, Botany in Buttons features hundreds of items from the Ann W. Rudolph Button Collection, a comprehensive collection of historic buttons and related artifacts within the Ohio State University Historic Costumes and Textiles Collection. Visitors can enjoy the floral designs of hundreds of buttons made of glass, metal, ceramic, bamboo, vegetable ivory (tagua nut) and other media.

Flower Power: Flora in Fashion explores the relationship humankind has with its natural environment – specifically, how we adorn our bodies with botanical elements from head to toe. From extravagant hats to sublime shoes, fashion designers have found inspiration in colorful floral motifs and botanical elements. Nature’s plant materials not only factor in the aesthetics of fashion and apparel, they literally are the very fabric used to make much of our clothing. Flower Power: Flora in Fashion will grow your appreciation for how the bark, leaves, grasses and seeds around us have been turned into textiles and clothing we use on a daily basis.
