About the artist:
For more than two decades, Ed Kachurik has been creating unique transparent sculptures in glass, and he continues to grow as an artist by experimenting with new designs, colors and materials. The Pittsburgh native has been working with hot glass since 1978, having learned to combine talent with technique at North Carolina's Penland School and, later, at Penn State University. Kachurik's signature technique, called veiling, involves the application of a metallic coating to the hot glass, which is then covered with more glass, thus trapping the color inside the sculpture. By experimenting with precious metals and chemicals, Kachurik creates his own unique colors, perfectly complementing the inherent qualities of the glass sculpture itself.
