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.

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.”
