Have you heard of Sheila and Neil, “the first non-flightless snails in the world?” How about a snoogle, kelpie, pegamallow, or preying beetis? Maybe you’re familiar with the candy corn creature that “helps foster kids find their forever home with his tiny little brain and his HUGE heart?”

Each of these wonderful, whimsical creatures—and many more—appeared when the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (BMAC) unveiled the 2021 incarnation of "GLASSTASTIC," a popular biennial collaboration between K-6 students and professional glass artists from throughout New England.
