The Glass Forge

The Glass Forge

"Movement, heat, light, teamwork, and the physicality of the process have attracted us and kept us interested in this molten material."

Following months of intensive discussion, planning, building, and preparation, The Glass Forge Studio first lit its furnaces on Memorial Day of 1998. The studio became a reality through the vision of several artists who met while working for various San Francisco Bay Area glass studios. Currently, this collaborative team consists of artists Lee Wassink, Nathan Sheafor, and Dennis Hoerauf, all of whom bring unique skills and vision to The Glass Forge.

Specializing in Venetian-style art glass, The Glass Forge team begins each piece by gathering clear, molten glass from the furnace on a long, hollow rod. Next, they apply various decorations and colors to this clear glass. Then, the glass is blown like a balloon to achieve the desired shape, and finally, the top and bottom of the piece are finished.

Each of the collaborative artists at The Glass Forge studied in college hot shops and honed their skills in professional glass studios and workshops.

Just as gorgeous in real life!

Thank you so much for sending the perfectly gorgeous piece of glass artwork. It will serve as a great "thank you for your service" gift for a Board member who has completed their work. We are sure that they will love it.

Only average paperweight

The online photo of the paperweight was beautiful but I was disappointed when it arrived. It is a soft blue and did not have the purple appearance of the online photo. It also does not have a high gloss finish. It appears to have been made in bulk.

not so much a paperweight, more an art piece

Be aware that if you're looking for a paperweight, this piece has a flat end for placing upright on a shelf, and it does not have a flat back! It rocks slightly on its rounded back and front sides. The glass is very pretty, but I was actually looking for a paperweight--with a completely round circumference (no flat section) and a completely horizontal back side (for holding down papers)

Perfect gift for girl graduate

I'm in love with this paperweight! It is absolutely beautiful. Is intended as a graduation gift -- grandmother to granddaughter -- this coming spring, something she can enjoy both now and long after I'm gone and remember always that her Grandma loved her. Perfect. One thing that did surprise me is that it doesn't lay flat on it's back, but is to be displayed upright. I have others that lay flat on the back and just presumed this would do likewise. Was a bit concerned about buying it online without having seen it 'in person,' but this couldn't have worked out any better and was actually quite easy for me..
