    Let me start my first real blog by answering a question I get all the time (No, not the question: “Do you ever burn yourself?”, even though I hear that question almost as often, only from people not familiar with working with 1,600 degree hot glass): "Why did you decide to become a glass artist?"

    Last week, I had the good fortune to meet up with my long-time friend and hero, Harvey Littleton. He and his lovely wife for 61 years, Beth invited me to a wonderful barbeque place, close to his home and gallery in Fort. Pierce, Florida. His home, during the winter months, overlooks the river and on clear days you can see as far as 27 miles away, so you actually have a great view of the ocean.

    Large Cube with Imploded Glass Spheres

    Although glass is my hobby, and I love it, sometimes it (almost) turns into work. This was the case when I, together with my team of incredible glass artists, were finishing our latest exhibition that is now on display at the McKee Botanical Garden in Vero Beach, Florida. Good old, blood, sweat and tears, people!

    In this blog (when I have some time), I will talk about my thoughts on art in general and glass art in specific.

    If you have any comments on my post, please feel free to leave them. I will be excited to hear your opinion.

    Let's start some cooperation in the glass art world!

    I created the art process in 1978 which I refer as Crystal Imagery since the final product has a crystallized affect from the irregular shapes of the stained glass (approx. 1 mm in size).

    As many of you probably know, the Glass Show in Las Vegas from April 3 – 5 will have a new event, the International Glass Invitational competition organized by Will of Flow Magazine. Although I hate travelling and am not a big fan of public appearances, Will and others talked me into going.

    A problem I have had (maybe since birth) is that I have a tough time accepting compliments. I guess I just never wanted to be perceived as a bragger. Now, this does not seem like a problem by itself, until you, out of a wrong sense of modesty, diminish your own work and your accomplishments as an artist, by not accepting compliments or just waving them away.

    architectural commission of 9 22 inch platters suspended from stacked slate wall with aluminum brads

    Do you want to get your glass art noticed? If you do you’ll have to learn that the way people get their news today has greatly changed from just a few years ago. Did you know that 67% of people today get their news on the web?! You must get your message to them somehow, but how?
