Crafted over time, a new baptismal font commissioned for Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Minneapolis was dedicated in the sanctuary in May. Minnesota sculptor John Sterner envisioned and created a gravity defying bronze foundation for the expansive basin realized by Al and a team of artists at Foci – Minnesota for Glass Art. Find details on the session HERE.
In early March, Al and John met at Anurag Studio in Stillwater, where the bronze was cast, to fit bowl and base together before transporting the work to the church.
Holy Trinity is home to many handcrafted art and liturgical pieces, historical and contemporary. The decommissioned font that served the church for a century will be repurposed.
