Titled because around the same time I was working on this piece I decided it was time to move back to America to further my glass career. This would mean being on the move once again, travelling and living out of a bag until I found another place to settle down and call home.

I am a glassblower (originally from PA) who happened to to be lucky enough to find glass while backpacking in New Zealand. I stumbled upon glass while looking for work during my travels and ever since it has been nothing short of an addiction. At a time when I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life I found a job at a glassblowing studio, and I have been in love with glass since. Upon returning to the US after studying 3 years in NZ I moved to Alabama where I now reside working for Orbix Hot Glass and also creating my own work.

nice work
I really like this piece. The coldwork looks really well done, and the piece as an object seems to trancend a typical blown form. I'd like to see more.
