Occasionally I have visitors in the studio to observe glassblowing. Visitors have ranged from collectors to gallery salespeople to a local art school class. But a couple months ago I was asked to participate in a shoot for Adobe where their photographer would be shooting both stills and...

No, I don't look too happy pulling cane because it's probably about 95F degrees in the studio. San Francisco is normally a great place to blow glass since it's relatively windy, cool and dry. However, there are usually around 5 days a year where the weather is actually hot (at least for...

Blowing glass for fun with my friend Jason (who will shot most of the "In The Studio" photos) gave me a chance to test out new patterns. Before embarking on the very labor-intensive process of making a large amount of murrine (patterned tiles), cutting it, designing work with it, then blowing...

Sonny of Stewart Fine Art worked with me on a large Allegro that a client wanted specifically for their new home in Miami. The niche is quite large as the glass is 55" tall and all rests on a custom fabricated 20" x 30" brushed stainless steel base.

If you're walking towards the reception desk in the brand new Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong, you'll see two very large Foglios in custom made alcoves. They were really challenging to make this large but came out great.
