I began blowing glass and studying art metals in 1970 at the age of 13 in a unique program directed by Erling Heistad, head of the Dartmouth Art Department. He then went on to work with many of the greatest living glass blowers and artists of the 20th century, including Gianni Toso, Anna Wolf, Willie Anderson, Kosta Boda, Dale Chihuly, Loredano Rosin, Lino Tagliapietra, and Davide Salvadore. Everyday I learn from those experiences as I work glass in my studio. After 49 years of working glass it is more exciting now than ever.
