Om Richard Satava

Richard Satava was introduced to glassblowing in 1969 while at Ocean High Scholl in Pacifica, California. He subsequently studied art and glassblowing at the college of San Mateo and California state University, Chico by being a technician for their glass shop. In 1977 he established his own Northern California glass studio called Satava Art Glass.

The art glass that Richard creates is based in nature themes and motifs. When first starting out in the late seventies he mostly worked in the art nouveau technique, like many, because that was the accepted art glass style at that time. Just a few years later his work took off into a different direction, incorporating more of his own style, creating new looks in pictorial nature scenes with designs like the Harvest Moons, Mt. Shasta, floral lines, as well as, a series depicting images of Native American drawings. All of these designs have evolved throughout the eighties and nineties, and continue to be created with new colors, shapes and inspiration.

During most of the 1990s he started to focus more attention on ocean life and nautical themes, creating the Moon Jellyfish and Nautilus series. Stemming from a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which enabled him to view jellyfish in an exceptional setting, much like viewing art at a gallery, he knew then that he needed to capture the nature of the jellyfish in glass. After spending three years experimenting with various formulas to achieve the translucent colors needed to make the jellyfish, finally by 1995 the series was ready for display. The Moon Jellyfish fast became one of his most successful creations and since that time has been displayed and sold all over the country by various galleries and aquariums. The following year, fascinated with the ocean kingdom, he began working on a new design, which features the image of a nautilus on a vase or flask form with a background of earth and ocean tones.

The life nature of the ocean has always held amazement for Richard. Below is a brief description of some of his most popular and well known designs:

Harvest Moon Series is exceptionally appealing, featuring a graceful three that frames a shimmering full moon. Trees also serve as the theme for his Mt. Shasta Series, which depicts mountainous pine forests.

Petroglyph Series draws inspiration from cave drawings and other pictorial representations of ancient tribes throughout the world from drawings found in France, Spain, North American native tribes.

Floral Series depicts flowers such as iris, poppy, and lilies using a board array of vivid colors.

Jellyfish Series portrays these fascinating creatures in ethereal blue (moon), orange ribbed (pacific coast), purple ribbed, translucent blue and purple (passion moon), and translucent pink and gold (gold ruby) domed, in a solid clear sculptures.

Jellyfish Sideswimmer Series incorporates the jellyfish above into a sea scene that depicts them swimming above a sea bottom of coral, sea foam, and sea anemones.

Nautilus Lidded Series casts the image of a nautilus shell onto numerous layers of rich colors giving an impression of the depths of the ocean floor. The vessel is them perfectly topped with a beautiful side swimming jellyfish.

Richard uses ancient techniques to create original designs in hand-blown glass vases, bowls, paperweight, sculptures and other works.

He designs and creates each one of a kind piece, all from glass that he has formulated and made himself. Through his own exclusive color formulas he is able to create rich arrays of colors by blending various metallic oxides such as silver, cobalt, selenium, cadmium and others into the molten glass. Widely knows for his brilliant red, rich blue, metallic blacks, aquatic looking blues and greens and others, his creations are sought after all over the world.

In all his works, Richard achieves remarkable detail and dimension. While a piece is on his blowpipe, his torch melts colored rods of glass to create precise images on the surface or suspended within layers of clear glass. Each piece is blown and shaped without the use of molds, then signed, date and numbered.

Om Josh Simpson

Född 17 augusti 1949
Utbildning: BA, Hamilton College, Clinton, NY (1972)

Josh Simpson har arbetat med glas mer än 40 år, han började experimentera med glas 1970 när han var elev på Hamilton College. Hans konst har utvecklats genom intresse för NASAs bilder på jorden och andra naturfenomen.

Han framgångsrikt skapar unika pokaler, vaser och skålar, men hans största intresse och tillfredsställelse är att skapa planeter. Planeter, som fångar i sina förtrollande ljusflöden kalejdoskopiska landskap, undervattens scener, vyer från rymden reflekterar jordens och universums storhet.

2005 beställde Corning Museum i Corning (New York) av Josh en jätteplanet – den tusende papperspressen i deras samlingen. Josh´s planet blev värdens största papperspress av glas och väger nästan 49 kilo. I november 2006 placerades detta unika konstverket i Corning Museums permanenta utställning.

Josh kunskap att bemästra all sort av glastillverkning har han uppnått genom att bygga sina egna ugnar och verktyg, genom att lära sig glasets kemi för att skapa sina egna spektra av färger samt genom att behärska forntida glastillverkningstekniker.

Josh reser världen runt och föreläser om sin glastillverkning i skolor, verkstäder och museer och hans unika verk finns permanent utställda i många museer (hela Josh´s CV finns längre ner).
