Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.My work is all blown glass made by hand in a public non-profit studio called Foci MN Center for Glass Arts in Minneapolis, MN. Since glassblowing is often a team sport, I work with a fellow glass artist to assist in making my work which allows me to get precise and crisp forms. Some pieces require a final surfacing step in the Cold Shop using machinery to flatten bases and give a high polished finish. |
