This large marble measures about 2.5 inches and is inspired by tube sponges in the coral reef. The colors that form the tubes in the marble are created by layering rods of glass and then stretching the rods into another rod that is then cut into short sections called murrine. After the murrine are formed, I put the coral reef together and finish off the marble in a graphite mold to give it a perfect sphere shape.

yearning for those five shapely points

Hand sculpted glass starfish. This seductive sea star is created with a rich red color pattern on the bottom that gets magnified from a thick optical layer of clear glass on the top.

Choose between Flat and Creeping Styles. Flat starfish will rest on a flat surface with no legs bent over the side. Creeping starfish have two bent legs, capturing the moment when the starfish is creeping away, just like it clings to rocks in the ocean.

It is about 5" in diameter.

Each starfish is a unique work of art and hand signed by John Gibbons.

The vases measures about 13 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide. I am inspired by the patterns and movements of the ocean.  The ocean provides endless inspiration for shapes and colors and the gelatinous nature of glass lends itself to these jiggling creatures found in the tide pools here in Northern California.  

This vase is made up of small colorful pieces that I make called murrine.  Murrine are created by layering colored glass from the center outward. This layering of colors created a molten piece of glass about the size of a soup can that I stretch across the studio to create a 1/2 to 3/4 inch rod. We then put the rods in the annealing oven to cool over night. The next day we slice the rods onto 1/4 inch wafers that get laid out on a ceramic kiln shelf  into a mosaic like arrangement. The wafers are heated and fused together into a rectangular piece of glass. A blowpipe is then rolled along the edge and the flat sheet of glass turns into a cylinder. The bottom gets closed off and now there is a bubble of glass on the end of my blow pipe. Three layers of molten clear and gathered onto the bubble and it is blown and shaped with the help of my assistant into the vase pictured.

Vase pictured is what will be shipped.

This Urn is made by layering, warm ocean inspired colors on top of each other and then putting the bubble into a mold. The mold creates a diamond pattern on the molten glass and separates the colors, revealing the layers beneath. Another layer of molten clear is gathered on top of the mold blown bubble and then blown into a sphere. 
    The clear lenses in the center of the diamond draw you into the depths of the orb. This color is a classic cobalt blue color.

This vessel measures about 8 tall and 7 wide.

Custom colors and shapes are available upon request. Price may vary.

This is a hand blown glass vessel with lid. The color is a deep opaque black with 23 karat gold leaf fused to the surface while the glass was hot. The vessel measures about 7 inches high by 4 inches wide with a snug fitting lid.
