"I picked glass up as a hobby while studying biology at Sonoma State University in Northern California. It quickly became obvious that I was meant to cut glass and not cells. I opened my first shop at the Old Mill and Wine Village in Glen Ellen, California in 1968. I have remained in Northern California adorning churches, restaurants, hotels and private homes for the last thirty-six years. I have always tried to make the next piece I work on better than the last." - Larry Brookins
