Glass artist Chris Heilman uses self produced glass rods to weld pictures into perfectly formed glass vessels and paperweights, and I am honored to be assisting in the studio as he preserves this art glass technique and teaches others.

Chris is mostly self-taught with 35+ years of art glass production, and his work, as seen in my snapshots below, is outstanding and unique.

Every time I see him work with glass I am blown away. To all the struggling artists out there, follow your natural talent and believe in yourself!
