I have been working with glass since 2001, and educated through:

I work out of my state-of-the-art studio full time, and specialize in Pyrex hand-blown glass pendants, and marbles, as well as fused glass pendants, and earrings.

Working with my wife, Roberta, we travel the East Coast presenting my artwork at approximately 38 art and craft shows a year. It is a team effort that makes this work for us. We totally enjoy meeting other artisans as well as all the wonderful show patrons who get to see me create the blown glass pieces during my live demonstrations.

The blown glass pendants are created from clear Pyrex glass tubes and/or rods. Working in front of a large torch, I will blow the tube and apply my design using different colored glass rods and different techniques. By imploding the design, it becomes three dimensional inside the glass. It takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete one pendant.

The fused glass pendants are made with several layers of Dichroic glass stacked between a base art glass and a clear glass giving it much depth. These pendants exude vibrant colors and bear unique character.

On a personal Note:  I have discovered a new technique in glass blowing. New techniques in glass blowing are few and far between. I will be calling this in my work The Alchemy Pendant. It is where I change pure Sterling Silver  into what looks like 24k Bright Gold.  My discovery has been published in the 2010 October / November issue of Glass Line Magazine. This is our National Glassblowing Trade Magazine.

All of my pendants are personally signed on the back in 24k gold.
