Terry Gomien
CoGoGlass
As a child, Terry Gomien lusted after that big box of crayons with the sharpener on the back. That vast array of richly hued wax sticks formed her initial color theory. She continues to play with the same vibrant palette translated now with glass.
Gomien creates one of a kind glass sheets for her work.The meditative process of manipulating glass powder adds an intended depth to her pieces.She patiently assembles sheets of tiny glass threads into vibrant undulating waves of color.She fires these sheets.She hand cuts them and combines the graphic details with vibrant sheet glass to create her compositions.Multiple firings complete the work.
As a former toy inventor, Gomien developed an insatiable curiosity. This lead her to a glass class at Lill Street Art, Chicago and she was hooked. It was her travels to Bullseye Glass, Portland however, that started her real training. Many workshops later instructors Patty Gray, Kari Minnick, Richard Parrish and Elise Kendrot most influence her current work.
Customer Reviews
I now have three pairs of these delightful birds. They are very well made and I anticipate will weather well.
Just beautiful
I bought these as a housewarming gift for my friend who is a bird watcher. She loves them. They are so bright and colorful and look perfect in her garden.
Fun and silly ornaments in a garden that doesn't grow much in the way of colorful flowers
These are absolutely delightful garden ornaments. They are beautifully crafted and make me smile when I see them. The birds arrived very well-packaged with a sweet note from the artist. I am so happy I decided to purchase them; they are a great addition to my backyard. They are a little larger than expected but not overly large. I actually really like their dimensions as they don't disappear from view.
