A little about the artist

I am a twenty-two year old glassblower. I was originally introduced to the art of glassblowing through the university I was attending. I have since graduated with a degree in Chemistry from Indiana University. I have been teaching myself to blow glass and believe that through a combination of various techniques and practice I will be able to develop my own unique style. My goal is to continually improve my glassblowing abilities. I hope that you receive as much enjoyment from viewing my glass, as I do from making it.

Wine Glasses
These glasses are hand spun from pyrex glass and can be made in a wide variety of styles and colors. Each are heat tempered and dishwasher safe. These stand approx:6inches tall

Tobacco pipes.
These pipes are made using a cut and flip technique which allows the color patterns to be seen through a extra thick layer of clear glass. This yields a magnifying perception. Each pipe is hand blown with many murrini,and filigree decorations. These pipes are colored with colored glass, 24K. Gold, and 0.99 fine silver. No two are alike in style or in color.

Marbles and Stephanie's beads
These marbles are hand crafted using a half round graphite paddle. They are decorated internally with colored glass.Stephanie Grossman is the creator of these unique beads. They are each crafted using colored glass and her free hand technique. These pendants are each nearly the size of a quarter.
