Mark Matthews - Toledo Area Artist
My goal is to explore the ways radically different designs and techniques can be used within a well-defined category such as spheres. The sphere, with its minimal physicality, has become the one factor unifying all my exploration of color systems and diverse historical glass techniques. I work in a small studio with one 300 pond capacity glass tank, a glory hole, a small 100 pound capacity glass tank for color glass and 2 annealing ovens. I create my pieces usually with the help of one assistant and I have developed most of the tools and equipment used in their creation.
