Richard Ryan
Vitreous Matter
"I strive to push my limits."
The challenge and difficulty of glass blowing captured Richard's attention pushing him to create his glass work.
Each piece of Richard's glass work is hand blown, then sculpted freehand from the inside and outside of the bubble. Glass colors are layered hot during the blowing process.
Richard Ryan earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in glass from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 2000. He also attended classes at Penland School of Craft and Corning Museum of Glass.
