Meet Glass Artist Artist Michael Hill
| Point Richmond Art Collective
121 Park Place
Saturday, January 28th
4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
In 1999, Michael learned the art of glass blowing. Working under some of the great gaffers (glass blowers), he learned the techniques of using optic molds, color combination and shape. Over the next few years, Michael was a regular at Public Glass in San Francisco, CA. where he worked with other gaffers. Working in the studio where the temperature sometimes reached 110 degrees, he created blown glass pieces that are still admired for today for their beauty.
In 2007, Michael transitioned into the art of Fused Glass. Fused glass differs from blown glass in that there is a kiln and not molten glass. Also, a great deal more effort is required in designing and building the piece since there is no opportunity to make any changes once the piece is placed in the kiln. "Opening the kiln is always a surprise." Late in 2011, Michael started working in blown glass. He is designing and creating one of kind pieces that are on display in the Gallery.
