Images are of Creeping. When the glass is hot, John lets the molten glass fall over the edge of a metal table, capturing the moment when the starfish is creeping away, just like it clings to rocks in the ocean.

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

The Flattened Rainbow Bottle is a switch-axis glass vase with spiraling rainbows twisting in opposite directions. This hand blown glass vase was created by rolling colorful glass rods onto a bubble of molten glass and then rotating the glass bubble 90 degrees, which causes the spiral to go from the bottom to the side. Then the vase is flattened with thick cork paddles to enhance the optics of the two opposing spirals.

I try to capture the essence of the starfish in a tide pool. The starfish is created with the color pattern on the bottom of the starfish that gets magnified from the thick layer of optical clear glass on the top, making the starfish almost look wet. The pattern on this particular star is called Murrine, an Italian glass technique where I take a glass cane (long rod of glass) and cut it in cross-sections to reveal a pattern that mimics the natural texture of the starfish in the wild. People have also said that it looks like barnacles on the starfish.

The “Jade Knight pumpkin” is known for its square-shape, flat bottom , and being moderately ribbed with a unique dark gray-green color. “Jade Knight” pumpkins have trailing vines and are excellent yielders, a true inspiration when creating in the glass studio . This forever pumpkin is measuring about 4 inches wide and 5 inches tall and topped with a perfect glass stem. Using classic glass blowing techniques, this beautiful gourd will be a focal piece in your home.

The “Jade Vortex” is created by first rolling up jade green rods of glass over a bubble and then twisting the bubble to make a spiral of green and clear in between. Then, by poking a hole in the side of the bubble and placing a new blow pipe in the hole, the bubble is turned so that the spiral is on the side of the glass and not the bottom. The bubble is blown out and flattened with large thick cork paddles. Once the bubble has cooled the bottom is flattened, another metal rod with a little bit of glass on the end is attached to the bottom of the bubble, and the glass is broken off the blow pipe. The neck is stretched out by heating it in a 2000 degree oven. When the vase is finished, it is put into an oven to cool slowly overnight to room temperature.

Dimensions: 15.5″H, 7.5″W, 2.75″D

This is one of my latest vases in my Anemone Series. I call this piece “Jellyfish Window”. I am inspired by the patterns and movements of the ocean. This vase is made up of over 50 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.
