Stephen Gartner and Danielle Blade came together in 1995 to combine their individual ideas, techniques and experiences to create original works in hand blown and sculpted hot glass. They say, “Our inspirations are rooted in nature and born of a mutual fascination with the use of found objects in the rituals of primitive cultures. With this work, we hope to convey a reverence for and understanding of the preciousness of our natural resources.” Natural elements such as bone, antler, wood, vines, fossils and rock formations have inspired their signature designs which include covered vessels and sculptural objects.
