Scott AmrheinElliptical oval Lumen 75.jpg (124948 bytes)

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 rim10   SOV166L.jpg (364671 bytes) 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!17   SOV40L.jpg (245795 bytes)Elliptical oval blue 28x9x12hi.jpg (74312 bytes)

          

 

 

Newy Fagan 
Fagan.jpg (48757 bytes)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

dory_dreamsVI.jpg (27037 bytes)  atRestTurqFront.jpg (129795 bytes)  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.

“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

improv.jpg (11738 bytes)Lava bowl.jpg (841970 bytes)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.
