Lighting-

We are now offering custom blown light fixtures in the form of pendant shades, table lamp shades, table lamp bodies and also chandeliers. We can make these fixtures to your down designs, make them from our existing designs, or work with you to come up with a custom design to match your house or commercial property.

Classes

Yesterday we taught a few ornament classes. Its always a popular event around Christmas, as one can have the fun experience of taking a quick glass blowing class. Plus, they can give their piece away as a gift. The beauty of this philosophy is that while the students feel happy that they are able to give a class to themselves, they can selflessly give away the results of their experience to a person they care about. My philosophy is that while I could simply make glass and sell it to those who appreciate it, I have a responsibility to pass on the skills that were once passed on to me. By offering these classes, I feel that I am giving something back. Who knows, maybe some one who takes one of these classes will be so captivated with hot glass that they will choose to persue it further at some point in their lives.

New Work...

Every summer we do a big push to make some really exciting vases with bold colors, simple yet elegant forms, and hopefully designs that you have never seen before.
This vase was made by using a venetian technique called Murrine (Pronounced murreenie). We make the Murrine by pulling a rod of glass into a length of about 40 feet. The colors that you see in the vase are slices of that rod. each slice is carefully laid out into a pattern that we fuse into a sheet of glass, then rolled up on the end of a blow pipe. After rolling it up on the blowpipe, we blow out the glass into the shape you see in the photo. Sound confusing?? try making it.

People always ask-

is it hot in your studio??

a picture is worth a thousand words. Keep in mind it isn't even June yet. When the thermometer reaches 115 we call it a day and go for a swim.
