About

Matt Seasholtz

Johnson, Vermont

Matt's education at Lehigh University and early work experience were in the field of engineering.  He began working with glass at Glasslight, Inc where he was senior gaffer and product designer.  He also taught beginning to advanced glassblowing classes.

Matt started designing his own work in the late 1980's, selling locally.  In the mid 1990's, he began exhibiting as an independent artist.  Matt has always tried to create work using simple and clean lines.

Matt's Optic Flower bowls and Bottle series are examples of his approach to glass.  The bowls use transparent colors and the optic mold to create forms that give the appearance of expansive blooms.  His Bottle series redefines the bottle to hold only light, line, and color. 

Artist Statement:  I try to create elegant objects with simplicity being the centerpiece of my design philosophy.
