Voorhees Sculpture donated by Momka's Glass!!
Up for auction we have a Voorhees sculpture donated by Momka's Glass! (http://www.talkglass.com/forum/member.php?45-Momka-s-Glass) Check out her site at http://momkasglass.com.
A little about Momka:
Momka has been creating glass for over 37 years. After graduating in glass chemistry from The Chemistry and Technology University in Sofia Bulgaria, she was a research engineer, glass technology manager, and Director of The Glass Technology Institute in Bulgaria. She wrote the leading glass textbook in Bulgaria; her book is used in Bulgarian technical schools. Before coming to America, she was a glass technology consultant for a number of European glass companies.
The new factory is producing borosilicate transparent and opaque colors in the blue, red, yellow, purple, orange, green, brown ranges plus black. New on the horizon will be opaque and opal white, metallic luster, deep rich purple, and more multi-colored rods. A few outrageous ideas that Geo's been conjuring up, our new "Challenge- Series".
We hope to be branching into the soft glass world soon.
A little about the item for auction:
This piece is made by Nick Voorhees out of Momka's gorgeous Alaska Night. It is about 6 inches tall, hollow, and non-functional. Isn't this color simply gorgeous! If you haven't tried it, you must!
As you know a Voorhees piece isn't easy to come by, so this is a perfect opportunity to snag one and support www.talkglass.com at the same time. :D
Thanks a ton, Momka! :blowkiss:
