Vitreous Matter
"I strive to push my limits."
The challenge and difficulty of glass blowing captured Richard's attention pushing him to create his glass work.
Each piece of Richard's glass work is hand blown, then sculpted freehand from the inside and outside of the bubble. Glass colors are layered hot during the blowing process.
Richard Ryan earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in glass from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 2000. He also attended classes at Penland School of Craft and Corning Museum of Glass.

I've been waiting a long time for this piece, and it was truly worth the wait! This octopus is SO much better than I had imagined it being. The colors pop off the matte glass in such a way, as to keep you looking at every spectacular inch of its beauty. It will be proudly displayed in my home for years to come. Absolutely fabulous!
