About the instructor:
Roger discovered the magical world of lampworking during the summer of 1998. Using a Hot Head torch and Moretti soft glass, he began making glass beads and marbles in his spare time. After working as a cabinetmaker for 12 years, in the spring of 2003, he decided to put away his woodworking tools and devote himself to the art of lampworking. He creates unique works of art using both soft glass and borosilicate glass.
"Inspired by nature and fantasy, my beads, marbles and sculptures are created one at a time using lampworking techniques. No molds are used, making each piece unique."
