Stanis?aw Borowski, one of the big names in the European studio glass movement of the late 1970s, has proven a so far unknown quality with his engraved and sculptural works. He has presented it convincingly to a broad public in numerous exhibitions in Europe, Asia and the USA.
Stanis?aw Borowski plays virtuously with the versatile design techniques of glass. Over the years, an intensive complex of works has developed that deals with the political issues of his time and with human existence.
The results are mouth-blown, multi-overlaid hollow bodies that are engraved and assembled together with sculptures freely shaped on the glass pipe to complex sculptural compositions.

Buzz has been blowing glass since 1969. He is from a family of artists. The family glassblowing studio flourished in the small Southern California artist beach community of Leucadia. Blodgett Glass has produced many lines starting with the "Music In Glass" line of bells and windchimes (1972-1982) followed by "Bubble Lites" (1975), "Space Lites" (1977) and "Sea Foam (1981). These lines continually evolved and were refined over the years and in 1978 an important Swedish influence was discovered.
Buzz learned many new techniques from the Swedish glassblower and currently uses them in many of his glass creations. He says "I was always impressed with the frozen liquidity of glass, which seemed to mesh with my love for the ocean and surfing." In 1987 he took over the operation of Blodgett Glass in California. He has had exhibitions at the Corning Museum and has exhibited his glass in galleries in Seattle, California and New York since 1975. All his glass is handmade using the same methods utilized since ancient times and it is signed and dated.
The luxury of quiet and peace everyday as I work in my studio is immeasurable. More remarkable is how my work creates tranquility in others.
Crafted with love, care and time, I want serenity, light and joy to shine back into the world.
Time in the studio is akin to cultivating a garden with a daily routine. The organic rhythm of the studio is a space for discovery and finding balance.
Like breathing - I inhale my surroundings and exhale life into new pieces.
New work shifts my kaleidoscope, uniquely informing what will follows.

Emma Varga has created a diverse body of sculptural work using her complex and laborious multiple-layer technique.

Varga lives and works in Sydney, Australia.
Early morning on sunny days, a limited number of people are allowed into a massive cave system in Central Java, Indonesia. First, you're repelled 150 feet down into a sinkhole. After hiking a while in slick, deep mud in a pitch-black cave, we came to this vision: sunlight streaming into a magnificent 200-foot-tall sinkhole, an underground river rushing far below us. The light rays on this morning were simply magical, and I never want to forget looking up in awe at such a spellbinding sight.

With an organic, painterly style, Karen Ehart draws her inspiration from nature: sea life, microscopic images, a rock-filled stream bed. The many places she has lived, from the tropics to the desert, have influenced the evolution of her work.
Karen Ehart's work is unique in the sculptural quality of her pieces and the unusual surface design. She spends a great deal of time on the original sculpture and the mold-making process. Each piece is individually designed and handcrafted by the artist.
Karen Ehart was raised in a very creative family with diverse skills where craftsmanship was valued and encouraged. She picked up a glass cutter in 1984 and was ruined for any other work. She has experimented with glass continuously, taking workshops and working for major studios while developing her own technique and design style.
Taylor Backes was conceived in 1982 by Karla Trinkley and Will Dexter. Both of whom were making and showing their work in fine art galleries; however, they wanted to pursue an alternative body of work geared towards the design and consumer market.
In order to separate this new work from their personal pieces Taylor Backes, the name derived from the maiden names of their respective mothers, was introduced.
Immediately successful, the collaboration has led to work made with the highest quality craftsmanship and an eye toward fine design. As Taylor Backes evolved new designs were introduced, some of which are one of a kind and more a reflection of Dexter-Trinkley's individual artwork.

Jean-Claude Novaro was a French artist considered one of the greatest glassmakers of the 20th century. Novaro's lamps, bottles, and vases utilized Art Deco-inspired shapes to create swirling, colorful forms. He pioneered techniques that included adding and layering unique materials directly into molten glass, such as metal oxides, precious stones, and luminescent powders that glow in the dark. In recognition of his ambition with his medium, Novaro is included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the maker of the largest hand-blown glasswork ever created. Born on October 18, 1943, in Antibes, France, he began studying glassmaking at age 14 under Eloi Monod in Biot before founding his own studio there in 1977. The artist died on December 30, 2014, in Monaco at the age of 72.
