Little Women II: What Planet Are You From

Here is the second of the Little Women series: What Planet Are You From

There are 16 women total, three or four are inside of the bowl and not shown in this view. The piece measures 22" diameter and is 6.5" high, the little women are 2" tall.

This piece was commissioned by a collector who saw the original Little Women on display in a glass show. Like the original Little Women this is a collaborative work with a fellow teacher and studio partner Leah Pellegrini. I make the "Saturn" bowl and Leah made the women.

Little Women

I have been working with a friend and studio partner Leah Pellegrini on this piece. Leah made the "Little Women", I fused and slumped the black "Saturn" bowl. I have had the idea for this for over a year but had to make the mold for slumping it and working out the bugs to get the final shape. the piece is 22" in diameter and 6" high. The "Little Women" are 2" tall.

Saturn Bowl

One of my latest pieces; Saturn Bowl. It is 22" in diameter and about 10" high. It started as an experiment to see if I could "drop" a bowl through a + 22" circle, it worked ! After it was completed I thought it look great with a top or cover on it so I slumped a bowl, made a marble and attached it to the under side of the bowl and made a lid for the lower bowl. For an experiment I think it turned out pretty cool.

Plate and Bowl

My latest large plate and bowl, the plate is 1" high X 22" X 22". The bowl is 6" high and 9" diameter. they are both in Black with Spring Green.

New Geode Bowl

This is the latest of the "Geode Bowl" series. It is three layers thick, black, white and red with at grid design.

The bowl is 9" in diameter and 7" high.

Latest Glass

My latest glass is a two piece combination of a deep bowl and a large platter. The bowl is 7" high X 9" diameter, the platter is 22" square and 1" deep. The glass is a "Curious" glass, only five sheets of this glass were made and I was able to get four of the sheets. The two colors are French Vanilla and Khaki. The neat thing about "Curious " glass is that it will most likely never be made again because it is left over glass from standard production runs.

Studio Exhibit

I am participating in Portland Open Studios this year. There are about 100 artists in the Portland area that will open their studios for the weekends of Oct. 9&10, and the 16th and 17th. You can visit their studios and talk to them about their art and see their recent work.
This is my work at the studio I work and teach at, Aquila Glass in Portland Oregon.
