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.
