Today’s favorite – glass art by self-taught artist Craig Mitchell Smith.
Wind, by Craig Russell Smith
I think the ultimate placement for glass is outside. It seems contradictory, such a delicate, fragile material. Yet it withstands wind and weather, and its beauty in natural light is breathtaking.
The Gift Blue, Craig Russell Smith
Smith works with metal smiths to create sculptures combining glass and metal. His forms are created in a kiln.
Making A Wish, Craig Russell Smith
Starting with a background in painting, Smith has also done interior and garden design, set design for theatres, and floral design. With no training in working with glass, he experimented with jewelry, then quickly moved into kiln formed sculptural pieces.
