Who inspires you?!

To enter tell us 3 glass artists that have inspired you in some way and why.


Winner will receive this antique set of claws donated by Icarus. I chose this prize for this game because I have one like it hanging on my wall, and it inspires me to think about who used it before I owned it, and the many changes and enormous growth our industry has achieved since I started in 1995. It's hella inspiring. I hope you hang this gift from Icky on your shop wall and find inspiration in it, too.

Icarus has a day job, blow glass, prints us cool shirts and buttons, and he also volunteers his time here on TMP. What a guy! Find more of his work on facebook and have your fortune read at http://nocoastglass.com. Thank you, Icky!



You have about five minutes to enter.

Kevin Nail, Jolex, and Kenan Tiemeyer(sp)

Most of mine are pretty self explanatory i think, when you look at the style of my work, but..
Nail, because He's a fucking boss when it comes to fume, and I love the ISO fume cane tech. Jolex, well cause I do a lot of space stuff as well, and he kills the space tech, and Tiemeyer, because he is the reason I got into fumed glass in the first place. Love how he takes inspiration from light and energy.

Happy birthday TMP!

Matt Tyner, Keith Minguez, and Sherm. All local to me, so great resources too.
Took a class at CMOG with Matt and Keith and became good friends with these local titans. Sherm is just one of the nicest guys behind the torch.

Steve Sizelove - I want to be as good at fuming as Steve is one day!
Robert Mickelson - I admire his approach to glass and art!
Kenan Tiemeyer - Again, amazing fuming!
