Thomas Philabaum started out his journey in art by studying drawing and painting in college. Eventually, he moved on to ceramics, and then to experimenting with the combination of glass and ceramics. After many decades of evolving techniques and styles, he has developed a sophisticated line of elegant and colorfully patterned designs in these blown glass pieces.
