Robert Mickelson is a lamp worker that has been pushing the medium of glass to a whole new level. His use of line and color is extreme. He uses a grawl technique ( using a sandblaster to remove layers of color to reveal different color under each layer) to make his vessels. He also uses clear glass and line to form representational art pieces that are very natural to life. His work is very inspiring and very flawless. Here are some of my favorite pieces of his from the past decade. I can only hope that one day my work is as nice as his. Visit his web site to see much more of his work. You will see some very new ideas that he came up with and opened many of our eyes to the possibility s that this medium has and that the only limit is our own mind.
