This awesome piece was a 3 way effort by Mark Mccourt, my sister Grace Kruse and I. I have been in the same shop with Grace for about 3 years, and we have collaborated before, but This 3 way collab was a first for all of us. It was really fun to put together. The foot, cup, and arms of the nude are made by Mark, Grace made the body, and I made the Seaform stem. Mark did the assembly, and It wouldn't fit in the kiln so mark flame annealed it. True height is 16&1/4 in. Definetly Grace and I's largest piece, but mark has made bigger ones before, he did a great job on the assembly, the piece stands very straight. Currently on display at my shop in Durango, but I am looking for an interested gallery or collector...

Cuatro Kruse began his lampworking adventure in the spring of 2002, dropping out of high school at the age of 17 to pursue a career in glass. Since then he has dedicated himself to perfecting his lampworking skills, practicing full time in his remodeled studio in Durango, Colorado, his home town for 21 years. In 2004-2005, he studied with renowned glass artists Jason Lee, Robert Mikelsen, and Bob Snodgrass. These artists have given him the skills and direction he needed to become the glass artist he is today, and their influences can definitely be seen in his work. Cuatro’s glass art can be seen in various galleries and shops throughout Colorado, and he is currently working on expanding throughout the U.S. His work can be viewed online at: http://www.glassartists...atro_Kruses_Gallery.asp
