Mark S.

Business Owner

Mark began working with glass in 1969, while working toward a masters degree at Florida State University. His interest in the medium caused him to change his career choice, and he began to develop the skills that would enable him to make a living creating unique objects of glass. Initially, he worked solely with lead crystal and colored glasses, creating mostly hollow pieces, but after several years working with the soft glasses, he became interested in the technical advantages offered by using borosilicate glasses (higher melting point, less thermal expansion) to create heavier, solid, small sculpture. A customer’s request for a glass chess board, to complement a set of recently commissioned glass chess pieces, led Mark to investigate the possibilities offered by creating frosted designs on flat glass and mirror, and, after moving to North Carolina in 1979, he expanded further into that area, producing ornamental glass for architectural and furniture applications.
