2012 Finalist

Mixed Dozen


Blown and solid glass
17 H x 11 W x 9 D cm


Goblet making is a technically rigorous process that is fundamental to the tradition of glassblowing. I have combined experimentation within this tightly defined formal vocabulary with an exploration of various quirky narrative characters. These goblets are invariably enjoyable to use, making the drinker and the drink feel more special.
