Local artist Rene Culler twists and folds glass into an array of warped shapes in Trial by Fire: A Meditation on Beauty, now on view at the Beck Center. The colorful works may take the form of something functional — say, a bowl — but they’re so delicate and colorful that you’d never want to defile them with Froot Loops.

Mondays-Saturdays, 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sundays, 1-5 p.m. Starts: Jan. 9. Continues through Jan. 26
