This week, Matt Stromberg recounts the storied history of Judson Studios, a family-run glass studio and the oldest in the nation. The LA institution is currently the subject of an expansive exhibition at Glendale’s Forest Lawn Museum.

Across town, Anne Wallentine profiles Maite Gomez-Rejón, founder of Artbites, an initiative that explores the intersections of art and culinary history via classes, lectures, and cooking workshops. Mango mezcal margaritas inspired by the paintings of Rufino Tamayo? Yes please!
