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'm slowly building a garden of Terry Gomien birds. They are bright, beautiful, whimsical, and durable. Most importantly, they bring me joy every time I look out the window.
Love the item. The colors are so vivid. It will look gorgeous in my garden. Recently bought another one. I highly recommend this seller's work.
What a beautiful addition to our garden of artful birds! This cardinal is my new favorite. He is larger and so visible. He just needs his mate and I hope one will soon become available. So gorgeous!!!!
i bought this glass Blue Jay for my brother because he and i have had a thing about blue jays ever since we started up a business together the blue jays bring us good fortune it seems so we always take time to watch and listen to the birds so when i saw this glass blue jay i had to buy it for him, he lives in an apt so Frank the Blue Jay is having a nice time hanging out in front of my house and looks great with the landscaping. very well made piece, thanks!
Love my glass birds!!!
A blue jay may have been giving the blue jay the side eye.
The cardinal arrived unglued, and I am waiting for instructions on how to reglue him.
