Your hosts, Richard and Karen. We use only (new and quality recycled) high-tech, lightweight packing materials. To your Favorite Sellers. NO PAINTED ART GLASS HERE! None of our studio glass is painted! All of it is colored and/or decorated using a chemical process that requires the use of a wide variety of elements and compounds to produce the final colorations. From the addition of to the melt a selection of substances to achieve the base color, to the application of salts, or oxides to the surface before re-heating in the kiln, they create iridescence and other special surface coloration and/or texture that becomes a permanent part of the glass. The alchemy of hot glass is definitely a process that is part art, part chemistry and part dance of movement to achieve the complex works you’ll see here. None of the techniques are learned quickly or easily, but take years of honing the formulas and skills of the glassblowing process. And, glassblowing is rarely done solo, but it nearly always requires the teamwork of the gaffer’s assistants in order to successfully produce this wonderful form of hot-glass artwork!
