Manufacturer Info:
"My work is a celebration of traditional techniques, opulent colors and classical forms."
Kenny Pieper has spent the last 26 years experimenting and perfecting his glassblowing techniques. He is deeply moved by the entire process of the medium and relishes each chance to work with fire and glass in its liquid state. The jewel-like qualities of glass and its luminosity also influence and intrigue him. His goblets and vases, while celebrating function, also convey the elegance, beauty and harmony that he cherishes.
The artist uses techniques used for centuries by master glassblowers. In his Primavera series, he plunges a hot bubble of colored glass into water that contains the raw chemicals of glass. The result is pieces with a web-like crackle pattern. He also experiments with a variety of chemicals, melting and mixing his own colors which are a rare palette of vibrant red and gold.
