glass artists

It takes a lifetime to perfect the art of glassblowing. It takes only moments to transform molten glass into original works of art--before your eyes.

In furnaces we built ourselves, the glass is melted at temperatures above 2,000 degrees. Gathering the glowing mass onto a hollow rod and blowing into the glass, we begin to define its shape, spinning the rod gently. Working against gravity's pull, using handmade tools of wood, steel, and graphite, we create a vase, bowl, paperweight, or sculpture in which colors and forms lie suspended, yet flowing.

For more than 20 years, our family has worked together to create these delicate, yet enduring works of art, and we have had the honor to win awards throughout the United States.
