He was setting up the Glass Program at RISD when my wife was a student there. The man is a frickin' genius. He doesn't blow his own glass since he lost that eye . Can't take the chance with the other.
his stuff is absolutely out of this world. I think he lives in Seattle. I saw his stuff up close 5 years ago on my honeymoon in Napa. There was a big chandalier at Mondavi and a 20 foot tall fountain at Niebaum-Copola. Totally amazing. I probably have pictures somewhere...lets see....nope.
I always figured it was like a Professor getting credit for his Grad. Students research. He came up with the designs guides the work and made a name for himself... But for $25K I would want something he made himself. The older stuff he did himself must be worth millions.
