This is a piece that i collaborated whith my friend Ryan McLoughlin on located in East falls PA.we asked to part of a nature based show.Everything in the gallery was either made with plant material or made to represent nature. I was asked to make nests and eggs .So we decided to take trees and cut them in half and do an installation with wood and glass . The effect was realistic and very fragile with full of life.

the nest were made by taking chocolate glassand stretching down to stringers and then sluping them in a mold in the kiln.The eggs are just flameworked and just placed loose in the nest. Thanks for lookin NATE

Well- I started blowing glass in 1998 with Sean Stirling(Smiley) in Boulder Colorado.After being really poor in CO. I decided to move back to Philly.I guess I just missed the city life and I was tired of not being able to eat after 10 at night. The first couple of years in Philly were pretty rough but I ran in to some good people and shit started poppin' off.One thing led to another and I built Philly Glass Works.So with having focus for 7 and half years shit finally worked out.I would like to say thanks to -first and foremost- Smiley for teaching me in the begining and All the other glass blowerers in Philly that helped me out too ....Peace...(I'm focused man!)
