Born in Denver, Colorado in 1973, Christopher began to study art and it’s mediums at a very young age; touring European art museums and historical
glass studios. In his numerous travels, his parents recognized Christopher’s natural ability to develop an understanding of different media, as well as his affinity for blown glass. Having studied under both European and American masters of glassworking, Christopher’s artwork has influenced several artists towards the transformation of contemporary Flameworking. Christopher’s extensive knowledge of glassworking physics and form enables him to manipulate the medium with careful planning; keeping in mind a strict adherence to architecture, integrity , and aesthetic quality. By request of both private and public institutions, Christopher performs commissioned demonstrations to the public, and teaches the art form to students of all skill levels.
