I formulate and melt most of the colored glasses I use in my work, and many pieces are available in a variety of colors. Each piece is free-blown and hot-worked, then frosted by sand-blasting and acid-etching. In the mixed-media work, the glass may be blown, hot-worked solid, or cast, and then frosted. Please note: Due to the handmade nature of this work, colors and sizes may vary.
Please contact levinglass@gmail.com with inquiries about work, or about studio visits, which are available by appointment. Commissions will be cheerfully considered.
