We're baffled. Tell us how you begin and complete these complicated and beautiful pieces?
It all starts with a vision in my head. I get a complete form visualized and begin basic sketches to see it come to life on paper. From there, I get to work and start building my new creation from the ground up. It’s like starting a unique rhythmic dance never knowing the exact outcome.

Glass blowing isn't offered at every kid’s day camp. How did you get into this medium?
My mom married a pipe maker when I was 14 years old, and from there it became the family business.  

What's the most important quality to have for a good glass blower?
Hard work and lots of dedication.

Ok, give it to us straight: how much are we going to spend on average for one of your pieces?
One of my solo pieces can range anywhere from $500 to $8,000.

Have you ever finished a piece and then watched someone drop it?
No, but I have worked on a piece for four days and ended up dropping it myself when I was pulling it out of the kiln.

What advice do you have someone interested in this line of work?
My advice to anyone interested in my line of work is don't be scared of burns, cuts or mistakes!

Most importantly, do you have plans for 4/20 and can we join you?
Where's the party at?
