I'm Matt, a student at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo during the school year, back to Corvallis, Oregon for this summer. I started making soft glass beads Spring 2004, started making boro pendants Fall 2004 and pipes in 2005. I just got my first torch this year and am definitely addicted. I'm very interested in meeting other glassblowers to discuss techniques and learn more, so if you are around either of my homes and interested in sharing experiences and techniques, let me know!

I am lampworking since 2003, got in it for the pipes and not doing it anymore - I became a pendant sissy.
