MVG – Apples

khoffma — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:05:24 +0000

Our sculpted apples have grown to be a signature design of MVG. Gathering and manipulating molten glass, the artist shapes the piece with traditional hand tools and their individual aesthetic. Each contour, color, and stem is carefully chosen to resemble the unique nature of varieties from Red Delicious to Granny Smith.

Carson – Clear Anchor with Dark Woodgrain

khoffma — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 14:24:14 +0000

Carson has been developing his skills in solid sculpting for the last several years. He has developed a reputation for his creative use of the medium and has recently introduced a technique to create the illusion of wood grain in his work. The anchor is sculpted from hot glass — the wood grain stock alone takes over an hour with a team of three glass blowers to create.
