Beecham White Glass









Regarding his work and his decision to remain the maker as well as the designer Gary says, “Reading science fiction, the visible light spectrum and looking up at the country night sky as I walk between my house and studio at night have also inspired me to make the Expanding Universe Series. My wife and partner Mary Lynn and I are completely involved in our work, both aesthetically and in making the glass pieces at every stage of execution, so the number of pieces we produce is small but personally and artistically satisfying.”

Beecham:" Mi esposa y compañera María Lynn y yo estamos completamente implicados con nuestro trabajo, tanto estéticamente como con la fabricación de los objetos de vidrio en cada etapa de ejecución, el número de objetos que producimos es pequeño, pero personalmente y artísticamente nos da mucha satisfacción. "

Jason Antol:"I make work that reflects how fragile and beautiful life is. My main body of work is built in layers of colored and clear glass. Different opaque and transparent colors are added and subtracted to create variation in tone and mark. The resonating color is richly textured and unique, much like the surface of a canvas painted with oils. The poetry of the color finds compliment in form. The symmetry of the vessel is often subtly augmented to respond to the color, creating a delicate balance within the work. My glasswork references the Italian tradition of glassblowing in craft and aesthetic while maintaining a distinctly personal expression. Influenced by the work of DaVinci, Monet, Tagliapietra, Degas, and Rosin, I bear strong consideration to their historical innovations when conceptualizing my own pursuits. My artwork is consistently changing and developing in both conceptual content and formal aesthetic, growing with time, with knowledge, with me."

Jason Antol: " El trabajo que realizo reflexiona sobre lo fragil y hermosa que es la vida.El cuerpo de mi trabajo es construido con vidrio coloreado y claro. Colores diferentes opacos y transparentes son añadidos y restados para crear la variación en el tono y la señal. El color que resuena es lujosamente texturado y único, mucho como la superficie de una lona pintada los aceites. La poesía del color encuentra el elogio en la forma. La simetría del navío sutilmente a menudo es aumentada para responder al color, creando un equilibrio delicado dentro del trabajo.Mi trabajo en vidrio se refiere a la tradición italiana de soplado del vidrio en el arte y estético manteniendo una expresión claramente personal. Bajo la influencia del trabajo de DaVinci, Monet, Tagliapietra, Degas, y la Colofonia, aprecio sus innovaciones históricas conceptuando mis propias búsquedas. Mi material gráfico coherentemente se cambia y se desarrolla tanto en el contenido conceptual como en forma estética, creciendo con el tiempo, con el conocimiento, conmigo. "

VISCOSITY






Scott Graham and Cristy Aloysi began their glassblowing careers at Urban Glass in New York City where they became fascinated with the ancient process of glassmaking. The challenge of forming beautiful handmade objects out of this molten material captivated them. While in New York they became involved in the city's energetic art and design world and have brought this influence into their work. After Urban Glass, they went on to study at the Pilchuck Glass School, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and Centro Studio Vetro in Venice, Italy. Scott and Cristy have taught glassblowing at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY, Snow Farm in Williamsburg, MA, Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, and at Maho Bay on St John in the US Virgin Islands.

In 2002 Scott and Cristy moved to Seattle WA, the center of the American art glass movement, to create a line of contemporary glass objects for the home. Their goal was to create pieces that are unique in their clean lines and simple designs. The beauty of Viscosity glass is that no two are exactly the same. Each one has been carefully shaped by the hands of the artists creating a uniqueness that cannot be imitated by any machine. Each piece of Viscosity glass is made to order and signed and dated by the artists. When you purchase Viscosity glass you are supporting the 3000 year old tradition of glassmaking and the American art glass movement.

Memorial window, Rorison Memorial Church, Ashgill. Fused and leaded panel. Most of the pieces of glass making up this window have been fused, this gives great colour and texture and really sparkles when the sun shines through it.

There's the tree that never grew,
There's the bird that never flew,
There's the fish that never swam,
There's the bell that never rang
