Bird on a Branch Steel and Glass Sculpture by Chris Szaton
Bird on a Branch Steel and Glass Sculpture by Chris Szaton Bird on a Branch Steel and Glass Sculpture by Chris Szaton Bird on a Branch Steel and Glass Sculpture by Chris Szaton Bird on a Branch Steel and Glass Sculpture by Chris Szaton Bird on a Branch Steel and Glass Sculpture by Chris Szaton
I began sculpting birds in glass in 1998. Driving home one day I spotted a telephone pole that swarmed with starlings. A few crow here and there added to the mix. The first sentence that came to my mind was: A telephone wire social club. Ever since that day, I have been fascinated by the simple and powerful statement made by even a single bird. They are elegant and beautiful creatures that remind me of my fellow humans.
When I sculpt a single bird out of molten glass, nothing is predetermined. There is always a give and take with the glass, somewhat of a conversation is happening. The bird becomes the focus of that conversation, taking on the form of a word or a phrase. From elegance to attitude to comedy, I take cues from the glass, helping me discover the color and pose of each bird. The finished product is always a study in these principals.
(These items are all one of a kind sculptures). Available in a variety of vibrant colors including: Cobalt blue, Yellow, Dark Green, and Ruby. Each bird is a hand crafted original with murini eyes, and is set in a whimsical pose that creates a personal expression. They are mounted on a clear glass stand signed by the artist.

Upgrading and Updating
We've been hard at work making changes and upgrading equipment and facilities.
We're installing an awning for extra workspace shaded from the sun and a covered area for viewing.
Our furnace redo was completed earlier this month and is the first of two furnaces, the latter planed for completion towards the end of the summer.
