  New!  These beautiful blown glass bouquets, set in fluted vases with iridescent detail, are created by Dottie Boscamp.

Boscamp enjoys working with molten glass because it is so responsive. Every moment of every second affects the glass.

“The glass blowing process is similar to dancing,” says Dottie, “because I am always moving and responding to my partner, the glass.”

Dottie graduated from Illinois State University in 2002 with a Bachelor’s degree in art with an emphasis in photography and glass. She learned an enormous amount from her instructor Jack Wax, a noted glass artist and veteran educator, including such processes as glass casting, vessel blowing, and hot and cold blow molds.

Dottie has recently opened her own glass studio where she creates beautiful works of art, gives live glass blowing demonstrations, and teaches her art to others.
