Sculpture blown and solid focusing on insects and related themes. I took a class with Vitorrio Costantini last year at Corning, Birds, fish and insects. I took the class really to see him, We met in Italy originally I was able to watch him work for a few days. I was impressed with the insects, but they were a bit creepy too. It's funny I'm getting bug requests now and after making a few I'm enjoying making them. I find legs to be very challenging!

Amazing to see close up of faces in macro photos of these creatures. I will definitely be making more! So expressive, I had no idea until I researched photos for inspiration. This one looked like a puppy!

"I went to Disney world with my family when i was about eight years old. There was a booth in the center of Main Street, where someone was lampworking using the crochet technique. That was it for me, it was magic. I spent hours that first day, constantly begging my parents to still be left there to watch, thankfully they agreed! Since then I've been facinated with glass and its movement".
