Glassblowing is a glass forming technique which was invented by the Syrian craftsman in the 1st century BCE. Glass exists as sand-like powder, a dripping, molten taffy, and hard/sharp if shattered. The ability to be many different things can be a strength, and such is true for many working artists as well. David Smallhouse, a former Vietnam veteran, led a full career as a glass artist for over 4 decades. His interests in color, form, tradition, function, nature, and abstraction are illustrated in this selection from his personal collection.
