The dichro center piece of this goblet rotates 360 degrees. It was an experiment that turned out really well. The rest of these goblets are some others I have made recently.

I made the Motorcycle paperweight at the Eugene Glass School 2004 Flame-Off. This piece took 3rd place in the marble or paperweight competition. I was very excited to combine two of my biggest passions, glass and motorcycles. More of these paperweights to come soon. The dragon eye I made about a week later and I really enjoy making eyeball paperweights.

Here are some bottles that I made. I couldn't decide what to do with them so I put droppers on the bottom of the stoppers and I am calling them perfume bottles. They are bigger than most perfume bottles, averaging 12-14" but they are beautiful.

This is the drum I made for the Eugene Glass School 2004 Flame-off. It took first place in the Sculpture competition, and won me a GTT Delta. The Sacred White Buffalo head sculpture I made the following week. I am very inspired by Native American art and culture, and I am very appreciative to the Great Spirit for the creativity to create these wonderful pieces.

As my glass handling skills improve, my focus has shifted to color and form. I incorporate many methods to accomplish the varied patterns and designs. I love to interchange contemporary and classic designs and patterns and see what is born. As I have grown I have learned to put my ego aside and work with the glass instead of against it.

These pieces are from a series of Native American Sculptures. I am greatly inspired by Native and tribal cultures and I appreciate their ability to see ritual objects as a venue for artistic expression. My study of Native American ritual objects has deepened my appreciation for this way of life and has helped me identify with my own Native American heritage.

A few pics of my first trout sculpture. The stand look like water splashing up around him as he jumped into the air.

In 2001 Josh began flameworking and was instantly hooked. In 2004 he began a series of Native American sculptures after winning the EGS Flame-off with his sculpture “Native American Drum”. He has recently began a series of sculptures inspired by the Faerieworld, the land between Heaven and Earth that we journey to when we dream. Glass is his medium of choice because of the properties of glass. Both while molten hot and finished product, glass exhibits a spiritual quality that is not found in any other material. The dance the artist does with the flowing glass is an exercise in mindfulness and expression of the divine through creativity. “My spirit is fed by myths and stories, and by my adventures in the realm of imagination. My artwork is a physical manifestation of the themes and ideas that inspire me on my journey.”
