STEPHEN POWELL

Kentucky glass artist Stephen Powell is widely known for his large blown glass sculptures. Most of his works are around 40″ high. Recently Stephen has begun a new series of much smaller pieces.

New Lino Works

Getting new works by Lino Tagliapietra is for me like receiving a holiday gift! Not that I get to keep any of the great new pieces on my website. But being their temporary custodian and then passing them on to enthusiastic glass collectors gives me great pleasure. Recent additions to the Lino page

NANCY CALLAN

Nancy Callan is one of my favorite Seattle glass artists. She has been a key player on Lino Tagliapietra‘s glassblowing team for many years.

Preston Singletary

DANIEL CLAYMAN

Daniel Clayman has long been one of my favorite glass sculptors. When I use the term glass sculptor or glass sculpture, I am not, of course, referring to the classical reductive mode of sculpture used in carving stone, for example. In Clayman’s case, the real sculpting is done in creating the mold
