Christopher
Rich, after training and apprenticeships
in California, Italy and England, built his own glass studio in Portland
OR in 1994. His glassblowing style combines traditional skills with
Northwest flair and his own innovations. Challenging techniques are
his trademark: swirls transposed to the vertical face of the vessel
by changing the axis mid-stream; color-banded incalmo vessels and rondels;
and metallic wraps executed with precision or free-form verve. His work is exhibited in shows and galleries throughout the United States, and he has executed large-scale installations for Marriott and Westin hotels.More
