Biography from The Marshall - LeKAE Gallery:
| Rich Nicholson of Nicholson Blown Glass works with his wife Janet in their small studio where their emphasis is creativity and innovation. Each piece is a free-hand expression of the excitement and risk-taking only found in an experimental glassblowing studio.
Following his university education, Rick Nicholson operated a pottery studio full time in southern California from 1974 to 1981. Janet left her photography job in 1979 to freelance and create designs on Rick's clay forms. They were married the same year. In 1980 and 1981, they worked in both clay and glass, and dedicated to concentrate on glass alone in 1982. Originally from Hawaii and Ohio, respectively, Rick and Janet settled in Auburn California in 1982.
Their work involves sculptural lighting and elegant, asymmetrical platter, bowl and vessel forms. Many works have been commissioned for hotels and private residences internationally. Rick's studies in metal and glass casting have allowed the work to take a new direction.
