Scott Amrhein
Amrhein
created his hallmark "Lumen" bowls through a series of experiments.
Each Lumen bowl has its own unique metallic organic pattern created as the
metallic finish resists gravity when the hot glass slumps in the kiln. The
absence of primary colors and the simplicity of design are the trademarks of the
pieces. Scott utilizes his background in metal casting for the
rim
treatment and has designed several bases made from wood and metal.
More recently, he has used his skills and experience on colored and patterned
glass with spectacular results!
Newy Fagan
Newy
is a well-known glass artist who loves horses. Could you guess? She teaches
her techniques in a series of national seminars and is best known for her fused
glass horses. These are popular gifts and colorful home accent pieces. We try to
keep a good selection of colors on hand but they keep trotting out the door.
Ponies $150 (about 7" tall at ears) and horses $175 (about 8" tall).
Caution: many people buy one, then get addicted and return to get a herd.
Tim O'Niell
On
the staff of the famed Pilchuck Glass School, O'Niell creates incredible
sculptures of cast glass. "I'm interested in the interplay of metal and
glass", he explains, "metal comprising the mold, containing the heat
of creation; glass, once shaped by the metal, often relying on metal again in
the form of a stand that supports the finished sculpture." O'Niell pieces
are often sold within days of receipt so call us for
current availability.


Robin Evans

“Color,
movement and meticulous attention to detail are a vital part of my work,”
Robin explains. “As an award-winning
glass artist, I am often asked about my intention. I strive to add beauty,
balance and harmony to any environment.”
And she does. Her fused glass pieces, combined
with creative metal stands, add enjoyment to the lives of those who own her
work.
Leon Applebaum

Applebaum
has been able to incorporate the
Swedish glass techniques with his ideas of using color spectrum and trapping air
to create bubbles as design elements that continue to define his work. This very
non-traditional approach allows for the exploitation of the transparent and
reflective qualities of glass. “I enjoy exploring the visual dimensions of
massive glass and reflective interiors, using transparent colors so that light
passes through and brings out the pure beauty and essence of glass,” he
explains.
Richard
Altman

Creative,
creative, creative . . . Altman is continually pushing into new design
territories as he utilizes his extensive skills in fused glass and metal
fabrication. Stunning table pieces, obelisks on metal holders, large
architectural pieces and wonderful lamps all display Altman's use of brilliant
colors and innovative designs.
PaladinoHansen


Nina
Paladino's artistic talents blend with Michael Hansen's technical background to
make a cohesive team that creates incredible glass art. Their bold colors and
innovative designs are evident in large free-form bowls formed by centrifugal
force, years of experience and creativity. We can hang these bowls on a wall as
a single statement or a color-coordinated set.
Colleen Gyori
She
is new to glass, but way beyond
many established glass artists. Colleen has enjoyed a lifetime of creations with
color and textures in other mediums. After an introduction to glass in 2003 and
study at the famed Pilchuck Glass School in 2006, Gyori is creating some
exquisite designs with the attention to finishing like a master glass artist.
Each piece is one-of-kind.
Minna Koistinen
These "Nordic vases" by Koistinen exhibit her education in glass:
University of Art & Design in Helsinki, Sheridan College of Glass and the
renowned Pilchuck Glass School. Extensive world travel has also influenced her
designs. "Simplicity in design has become a tool for me", she
explains. These vases literally glow when displayed in direct light or on a
lighted stand.
John Gerletti
John
Gerletti began working in art glass over 26 years ago, well before glass gained
the status it holds today as a premier fine craft collector’s medium.
Gerletti's unique work includes hand-blown vessels utilizing bright opaque and
opalescent colors in bold textural patterns. The colors are various types of
glass that he formulates and melts in his studio.
Victor Chiarizia
Renowned
for his use of vibrant colors and innovative designs,
Victor's work reflects an exploration of sculptural forms and the use of ancient
Venetian and modern glassblowing techniques. Fluid forms combined with spirited
colors are his unique artistic signature.

Rafael
Gevorkian
Thick, massive, beautiful glass bowls with
brilliant colors and designs. Wonderfully innovative designs. Skilled metal
working and finishing for mirrors. What's not to like? Gevorkian can design and
create a wide array of large bowls, platters, mirrors and sculptures to enhance
many contemporary decors. We try to keep a few pieces in the gallery but he can
also create what you can imagine.
Bandu Dunham
A
true master of his art, Dunham literally "wrote the book". His books
on the techniques of flameworking glass are the foundation for many glass
artists' careers. His incredible spheres demonstrate the advanced techniques
that Dunham has perfected that have earned him international fame in flameworked
glass. Plus, he makes the coolest menorah!
