General
Our Online Gallery focuses on items that an artist has had on display here over time, rather than items that are available right now. The goal of our Online Gallery is to provide a good representation of the range of work each artist creates.
Glassblowing is a glassforming technique that starts with molten glass ("soft glass") that is inflated into a bubble with the aid of a blowpipe. The glass used for this technique starts in liquid form, usually at 2,000 - 2,200 degrees F. The blowpipe is used to obtain "gathers" of glass from the furnace - each "gather" providing another layer of clear glass to the pipe.
Color for the piece also comes in the form of glass, and is melted onto the clear glass. Glassblowing colors vary from large chunks of "color rod" (or "color bar") to finely ground glass powder. The glassblower decides what kind of color to use based on what kind of effects are desired.
Bob creates blown glass in many forms - Floats, Ornaments, Shades, Vases and Bowls. Bob also creates work in "soft" glass that is not technically "blown", such as Memorial Orbs, Flowers and Paperweights.
