Whimsical yet wisely observed, Randa's lampworked human figures interact with one another and with his blown glass vessels. This pair engages in a mighty struggle to bend a vase to their wills. Figures are movable.

"I love the process of making a piece of glass. From the first moments of an idea that is dancing around your mind to the challenging construction of the molten material, every step of the process is unique. "

Bryan Randa's intricate figures reveal the artist's keen eye for detail. He creates each one through lampworking, using a torch to melt and shape borosilicate glass rods or tubes. Fine detail is achieved by beating a specific area of the glass and making lines or dents with a variety of hand tools. He often combines lampworked elements with blown glass vessels to create truly extraordinary works of art.

Bryan Randa began working with glass in 2004 at McDermott Glass Studio in Sandwich, Massachusetts. Working under David McDermott and Yukimi Matsumoto in an intense apprenticeship, Randa gained great skill and passion for glass. In 2006, Randa began his lampworking career making small figurines for the Sandwich Glass Museum.

Although mostly self-taught, Randa has studied with well-known artists such as Milon Townsend and Sally Prasch. His work can be found in galleries nationwide, including The Corning Museum of Glass.

Very nice glass art piece!

This vase, which I ordered in turquoise, is cleverly formed to lean to one side, making it appear that the two figures are engaged in a pulling contest. The color is as it appears in the photograph, a deep and vibrant blue.

WOW!

I just received this and you can tell it is not factory made. The Artist did a great job. The 2 people are separate and hang just right. I have a LED lit shelve and the light above hits it and glows inside of the top half part. Looks so cool! Worth the money if you like Art Deco! THANKS!!
