Custom Glass, Classes, and Artistic Inspiration

At Potekglass, we continue to offer inspiring art and unique glass installations, alongside engaging glass classes for all skill levels. This October, don’t miss out on the opportunity to experience one-of-a-kind creations and hands-on glass art experiences.

Art in the Shop: The Time of Waves
In this new installation, Tides, Malcom Potek captures the movement of waves and the inevitable changes that come with time. The piece features a pulverized pre-cast glass assemblage, disintegrating slowly with each repetition, symbolizing the passage of time. This installation invites viewers to contemplate the natural ebb and flow of life. If you’re looking for custom glass for your home, business, or institution, Potekglass offers quick and high-quality installations that can be viewed in our studio or online at potekglass.com.

Art in the World: Andrew Shea – The Fluidity of Glass
Andrew Shea’s work showcases the vivid colors and dynamic motion of blown glass. His process captures the essence of glass as it transitions from hot, fluid material to its final form. With a background in glass from the early seventies, Shea's work has always been about pushing the boundaries of glass art, using its fluidity to represent movement and transformation. Shea’s work remains an inspiration for glass artists worldwide.
