Stan Harmon - Retirement brought Stan Harmon's passion into the daylight. Finally quitting his "day job", after a career with an environmental water management company, Harmon found himself able to devote more time to artistic endeavors that he had previously crammed into late night hours after everyone else was asleep. Following his dream to learn to blow glass he enrolled at the famous Penland School of Craft in the North Carolina mountains, quickly succumbing to the addictive nature of glass blowing. However, blowing glass requires at least one helper and that wouldn't fit into his new schedule (which was no schedule). Not to mention the constant overhead involved in firing a glass furnace 24/7. While at Penland, Harmon was introduced to the technique of kiln-forming glass which being taught in the next studio. This proved to be the best of both worlds, embracing the serendipity of hot glass creation and the advantages of a flexible schedule because a computer runs the kiln, taking care of the most time consuming aspects of creation. Thus no helper was needed, no outrageous gas bill to stress about, and still reaping the creative opportunities afforded by hot glass. Kiln-formed or fused glass ...
Dolores Barrett - Glass is my medium and my passion. Ever since I was first introduced to its crystalline forms and iridescent colors, my imagination was consumed. My work primarily focuses on kiln-fused techniques in which many variations of colored and dichroic glass are pieced together in representational as well as abstract objects of personal adornment. This medium for me is an expression of light in solid form. Through constant exploration, I continue to strive to produce pieces with an inner significance, often accentuating my creations with precious metals, gemstone accents, and intricate wire work. Producing art with this vision is my ultimate goal art meant to be worn and enjoyed. ...
Janine Barbour - The visual atmospheres I create in glass grant the viewer the opportunity to discover the environments I explore. I grew up making pottery and glass art with my mother, a teacher of the fired arts. I lived in a hospital for the better part of my first six years of life. Being forbidden from living a normal childhood playing outside and running around was not sad for me because I played through discovering my artistic self. By the time I was in high school being asked what my goal in life is I simply stated my goal was to live on vacation the rest of my life. I explore life and express the vacation atmosphere I live through my glass. I am not looking for fame or glory in the art I create. I am looking to let my creations encourage others to embrace our creative world and to look upon my work and know the imagery comes from a personal experience of mine. When I travel I take very few pictures. I prefer to feel the atmosphere. To me, it is that translation that captures the essence of my adventures. ...
