John has been blowing glass for over 20 years. Melting pelleted glass in a furnace to 2100F, gathering it on a blow pipe and hand shaping the material with wet newspaper or wooden blocks. Even the lattacino cane and murrini are all handmade by the artist. His customers regularly buy his “Friendship Balls” as gifts for loved ones to hang in their windows. The way the light reflects through his glass is art in itself. In 2010 he opened Canton Glass Works.
