This creates a translucent quality that accentuates…

“Wow, it’s bigger than I expected!” I hear people say this all the time… They say this after seeing some of our glass sculptures in person for the first time. Why is the perception of an object’s size often different from the object’s ‘actual’ size, or ‘actual’ dimensions? Does size matter?

Senado Glass Sculpture

Bernard Katz — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:52:59 +0000

Senado glass sculpture is a composition comprised of two handblown glass forms. A soft visual rolling movement guides the eye throughout the sculpture. The visual movement is kept contained by the deliberate posture of the glass forms. The viewer may see a landscape unfolding… Or the viewer may see a figurative interaction at play. The imagination of the viewer is what completes the story.

Our luxury interior glass hanging sculpture are designed for custom installations. Each of the sculptural glass forms are hung from the ceiling.

Repairing Glass Tips

Bernard Katz — Thu, 30 May 2013 22:10:40 +0000

People contact us often about repairing glass. They figure since we make hand blown glass, repairing glass would be a simple thing for us to do. This might be true for certain types of repairs… However, most repairs are rarely simple and straightforward as people assume. Fixing broken glass by melting it back together may seem like a logical thing to do… But believe it or not…
