Mark Lucas: November 2012

about the artist

All of my work is lamp-worked glass which means that it is made using a table mounted torch. I use different crushed and powdered glasses, clear and colored rods, as well as silver and gold fuming.

I have been working with glass since 2000 starting at age 18. being self-taught I learned through trial and error. I look to nature and biology for inspiration and to the medium itself.

Growing up in New York, Idaho, and Arizona, Jerome has been my home since 2007.

I find glass to be a very meditative process, tuning into the glass always moving. It is when I am fully consumed by fire and glass that my best work comes forth.
