Christopher Ries, born 1952, received a BFA from the Ohio State
University, and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin at
Madison. While at Madison, he was the personal assistant to
Harvey K. Littleton who is considered by many to be the father of the
20th century Studio Glass Movement.
Ries began sculpting
cold glass in the late 1970's. Using tools of his own creation,
he cuts, grinds, and polishes blocks of pure lead crystal acquired from
Schott Glass Technolo (showing 500 of 3048 characters). |
