How A Glass Blower Holds His Pants UP

  « Newbery Art Glass

(Glass Jewelry)

How A Glass Blower Holds His Pants UP This is for Ericka. In the message forum Ericka was asking about Glass Belt Buckles and these are for her. The hardest part is finding the metal backing in a usable size. I am searching for smaller backs so that I can make pieces more appropriate for a smaller lady.

Warren's long-time fascination with glass began at the age of ten when a master glassblower from East Germany moved into his neighborhood. Warren watched his future teacher and mentor at every opportunity and finally began his apprenticeship in 1975. Over 25 years later, he still considers himself only a student of glass.

While circumstances have led him to other careers along the way, Warren has always been drawn back to glass. Recently he has returned his focus to his favorite artistic medium. He creates lampworked, fused and blown glass pieces including beads, marbles, paperweights, pendants, vessels, birds, sea mammals, and small wildlife. Each piece is unique, handcrafted from his private studio in the San Francisco Bay area.

His work can be found in retail stores, gift shops, galleries, and private collections internationally.

You can not buy happiness off the rack.
You have to make it your self!
