Artist Statement

Our dedication to glass is evident in our attention to detail and quality. We have worked together successfully with galleries since 1979 and have expanded into creating projects for public art, hotels, corporations, churches, and residences. Rick has attended Pilchuck Glass School frequently since 1981, and Janet collaborates with color and design. Our team is prepared to fabricate and install custom commissions from your design or ours on time and within any budget. Our work includes figurative sculpture, sculptural lighting and fountains, and elegant, asymmetrical platter forms for the table, wall, or ceiling. Skills include freehand blowing, hot sculpting, kiln casting, glass fusing, and metal fabrication. Visit www.nicholsonblownglass.com.
