Hand blown glass paperweight with eye-popping dichroic glass explosion. Dichroic glass is comprised of tiny metals which give it its color. Its compatibility with glass makes it an exciting and vivid application. This paperweight has a nice soft dome shape that is faceted with several optic windows, giving the viewer an in-depth look into the intricacies of the piece.

Ben Silver Studio
"I find glass to be an extremely inviting and playful medium. I aim to express a whimsical elegance and create an aesthetic balance of color that engages and entertains the viewer."

Benjamin Silver takes the playful and magical experiences he had while traveling throughout Europe and Asia and channels them into his work. Glassblowing is the perfect instrument for Silver to express his colorful experiences. Much like traveling, glass has amazing qualities that allow for an unlimited array of possibilities, which Silver uses to explore, design, and color his work.

Silver combines glassblowing, fusing, and cold working methods to create his glass pieces. This labor-intensive trio of techniques allows Silver to achieve the rich, bold bands of color and polished edges that define his work. He carefully attends to each piece during the fragile process of transforming it from a molten state to a final work of art.

Silver's training began in 2007 at the Eugene Glass School, where he volunteered in exchange for studio time. It was there that he encountered many different artists creating amazing work, including Jeff Ballard, an influential artist who showed Ben many of the technical skills necessary to create quality works of art. Since then, Ben has trained at the Pilchuck Glass School and the Corning Museum of Glass.

Another extraordinary creation by Benjamin Silver!

We just received this stunning paperweight by Benjamin Silver, and we're delighted with his artistry. This is our fifth piece by Benjamin, adding unique beauty to our collection. Every year for our wedding anniversary, we select one special piece to add to our paperweight collection. His five pieces stand out as our favorites. We highly recommend "Fractured" by Benjamin Silver!

Stunning

I love the metallic flower. The windows around the paperweight give you different perspectives. A very nice piece for the money.

Beautiful "paper weight" highlight of our perfume tray

We now have three beautiful items on our perfume tray, all of them from Artful home!
We have two beautiful perfume bottles, much smaller than the wonderful work of art just recently purchased.
We think Benjamin Silver is a magnificent artist, and if we had all the money in the world, we would purchase 4 or 5 more items from his collection!!
We love our piece!!
