A Glass Blown Legacy

Somewhere Glassworks is a "hippie's paradise." It's five acres of land tucked away from the road. When you get there, you first see a geodesic dome and further along you come across a colossal mound of, what Sky Campbell calls, "yard art." It's a place where artists can go when they have no where else or when they're just passing through. While working on my project I met several such people: a marble maker, a large format photographer and other glass artists, including Patrick and Brandon who teach an intro to glassblowing class for Santa Fe.

Sky Campbell and Sarah Hind own their own hot-shop for glassblowing, which includes several furnaces and another shop for bead and lamp making. They were great to work with and I'm grateful for their time and for allowing me to work on the project.



If you're still not sure about what glass blowing is, here's a video of works by the famous glass blowing artist Dale Chihuly:
