Workshops
"Ice Glass" Tabletop with Cold bent glass bases
Green Career Opportunity
After thirty years of developing all of my own techniques and technologies in reclaimed cold worked tempered glass I am now teaching these techniques to those wanting an alternative and green career opportunity. While my focus has been in creating a new artistic medium for creating fine art paintings and sculptures the demand for functional items such as glass tabletops and bases, countertops, walls, tiles and backsplashes has been overwhelming. The techniques that I have developed have so many applications that I am unable to focus on any one of them and would rather pass this knowledge on and allow others to benefit. I am confident that learning and concentrating on even one of these techniques could provide a nice income for those such as tradesman, craftsman, artisan and artist. With a minimum investment* an individual can take what I teach them to any city in the world with no more than a room and a few hundred dollars of materials and earn a living from that city’s waste tempered glass. The tempered glass is available in the market place in the form of miss cuts at the factory door or office towers being upgraded with thermal windows.
