These goblets are influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphics.They don't have a meaning except in that sense that they mean something to me.look out for more on the way.....thanks 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!)

    Did you forget about Morris?
    Am I confused in thinking he was your first teacher?
    Anyway thanks again for the ride to Washington.
    Because of Laura I met Several Key People in my life.
    I internally thank you on a daily basis.
    Remember renting time in that bead shop on minor burners in Seattle? What a weird time for me.
    Good Memories.
