Contemporary designs made using traditional techniques.
Bright and bold functional glassware.



Glassblowing for me has become a process of taking a unique, transparent super hot liquid and freezing it to room temperature in a controlled but sometimes precarious balancing act of heat, gravity, timing and human intervention in these processes. I find glass most beautiful when worked in such a way that expresses its fluidity as a material while expressing its unique relationship with light and color. I design my work to be decorative with clean, strong lines in form and color. Most of my work is also functional as I’ve often felt best satisfied making things that are both beautiful and useful. Working with great intention in this way can encourage us to reach into some of what makes us most human. There can be a richness in the life of expressed ideas and human industry these creative processes generate for the maker. It's in this tradition that I believe making, using and appreciating these glass objects brings a quality of experience to our lives that is both unique and precious.
