"I am enamored with glass as a workable medium. Its ability to freeze motion and to appear liquid in a solid state intrigues me most. My driving motivation to work with glass is the process: the heat, the smoke, and the teamwork. My approach to glass stemmed out of my formal training as a potter. When I worked in clay, I had an affinity for unglazed wood-fired vessels. The rough texture invites physical contact which is the opposite with most glass objects. I am inspired by clay, a far more tactile medium, to create glass objects that invite touch and exploit the tactile quality that glass can possess." -Chris Mosey
