About  | Resume  | Bio

Our Studio opened for business in October of 1995 in the heart of the village of Old Town San Diego.  It is here where literally thousands of visitors from around the world have been able to see up close and personal the beautiful craft of hand blown art glass. Our studio is in production almost every day. Some days our work consists of large scale pieces and three or four people are working intensely on one big piece of glass. Other days, you may find me sculpting fish. This is a quicker process and requires only myself and one assistant.

As glass blowing studios go, ours is pretty small. Only 350 sq. ft. Careful planning of where the appliances were set has allowed us to work relatively smoothly in spite of our restraints. We have an invested pot furnace which has a capacity of 500lbs of molten glass which is blown over a period of 7 to 10 days. Then the cycle of cooking a new pot takes place again. We melt clear glass and have hundreds of colors of glass  stored in small plastic containers, giving us the ability to create almost any color combination that is presented. All of our appliances are fueled by natural gas and compressed air.  This translates into hefty fuel bills presented to us monthly by San Diego Gas and Electric. Glass is expensive to buy because glass is expensive to make.
