Chicago Hot Glass

A computer consultant by day, Daniel's background is in electronics and computers. Daniel has been fascinated by hot glass since the age of seven when he saw a glassblower working at a theme park doing demos & selling glass. His first experiences with glass were lab glass work in school. Daniel has worked in various physical media including wood, stone and metal as well as computer based art forms. He also creates and sells jewelry from glass, metals and resins. Daniel took his first offhand glassblowing classes at Talisman Glass in Chicago and has worked with Peter Patterson Glassworks as both an assistant and engineer.
