Artist: Little River Hot Glass

"Of the many media and processes which can be used to create, I have always been attracted by glass and "its" potential. Initially working with stained glass, I became drawn to the dynamic nature of the blowing process which seemed to better suit both my nature and my vision." Michael Trimpol
