Andrew Madvin

Madvin is one of the innovative young glass artists in a medium dominated by established masters. His work, such as these "Thorn" bowls has earned him wide recognition. He studied at the Pilchuck School of Glass (with a full scholarship), at California College of Art & Craft and at the College of Creative Studies. His success in blown glass has enabled him to design and open a 10,000 sq.ft. state-of-the-art glass studio. A Madvin piece is a worthy addition to glass collections.

Jon Oakes

True artistic talent is not bound by a medium. Jon has been handcrafting unique Raku vessels for over 15 years. He honed his ceramic skills to a master level in the difficult techniques of Raku pottery, but it has been his artistic talent for design and color that has made his work exemplary. Now Jon is using his artistic talents to create beautiful blown glass. A different material, different tools and different skills, but with the same artistic talent.

Michelle Kaptur

A devoted glass blower for 30 years, Kaptur's repertoire of glass forms, colors and innovative designs is as diverse as her non-glass experiences. She owned a sled dog team for 9 years, was a wilderness ranger for 5 years, and rode horses with zebra, elephants and giraffe in Africa. Kaptur then created 10 one-of-a-kind glass pieces for a private Boeing 737 plane. Perhaps her adventures feed her creativity as she creates innovative blown glass. She creates exquisite color transitions and depth in a wide variety of designs. Some pieces have wonderful flowing internal elements as the bowls on the left.

Magan Stevens

Magan's  ‘teardrop’ vases are made using a difficult Venetian technique called “reticello”. Fine threads of colored glass (cane) are applied to the molten glass and then coated with clear glass before another layer of cane is overlaid to create an intricate woven pattern. Each numbered piece is unique and distinctive. This photo shows only two colors Magan makes, but call us for other colors.
