(Vases & Vessels)

Eric Goldschmidt Here are some images of my work. I have been flameworking for about 11 years and furnace-working for about 7 years. Having studied with a host of renowned glass artists through the years has given me a wealth of technical knowledge. Digging deep within myself, I am able to project my interests in Venetian design and the subtle energies of our physical and spiritual realms.
I am currently the Resident Flameworker at the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass. I teach at our studio in Corning regularly. You can also catch classes with me at other public and private studios around the World.
I just recently released an instructional goblet-making DVD which is available through The Corning Museum of Glass, Glasscraft, and Wale Apparatus. It should be available through several other distributors soon.
I will be teaching a week-long workshop at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY in June.

During my visit to Italy a couple of years ago, I gained deep inspiration from not only Venetian glass design, but also the great architecture in Florence.

The "Guggenheim Cup" has long been considered the tour de force of Venetian design. I couldn't resist putting my own touches on this quintessential Venetian piece.

The last 10 yrs has been good to you bro!
Hey Eric!

Been out of touch for like 10 years now, since I moved out of VT - it's great to see you are still thriving in the glass world! Your work is simply phenominal.

Have you done much murrini work since Loren's class? I actually have a couple chunks of one of your super-early boro portraits, I'd love to see anything you've done since then.

If you ever make your way out to San Diego, you've always got a free place to stay. ;)
