Circle Craft 2008

This was my third year attending the Circle Craft show at Canada Place in Vancouver. This show is the biggest art market in Western Canada with over 260 artisans showcasing their work. The Totally Amazing Glass stage run by Malcolm Macfadyen has been a major part of the Market for over 12 years. Pictured above is my opening night lampworking demonstration on the Totally Amazing glass stage. The crowded Market with over 2500 people in attendance and a couple hundred faces watching my every move was an amazing experience! Special thanks to all my supporters that showed up to watch me live on the stage.

Special thanks to all the people that showed for our opening at Starfire Gallery. The "Glass Bubbles" chandelier project is a great success! If you find yourself in Horseshoe bay area then stop by the gallery and take a look. It's worth it to see this art piece in person.

City Space

This video was filmed by one of the first film crews that ever came to my studio. The piece is Small City Spaces ...... They found me while working in my studio (2006) in the False creek area of Vancouver. At the time I had built my shop in a tiny 250 sq. ft art studio that was a bit of a hole in the wall.

"Glass Bubbles" Custom Lighting

Take a look at my second chandelier "Glass Bubbles" . This piece consists of 80 clear blown orbs ranging in size and shape hanging off of a wooden frame. Conceptually I wanted the piece to have a warmer or natural feel to compliment the mass of very bubbly looking glass . Using wood as a mixed media with glass is rarely done giving the piece great uniqueness and west coast appeal.
