Hanson Glass
Syd Entel Galleries is proud to present the work of Hanson Art Glass.
Ken and Ingrid Hanson have worked together since their early college years.
Although traditional Italian and Swedish glass-blowing techniques inspire
them, they employ a bold and innovative color palette to create their unique
and contemporary art glass.
"We constantly strive to evolve our ideas to create unique and exciting works
of art in glass. It is the intensity and unpredictability of hot glass that inspires
constant change in our work. Through collaboration, we are able share our
visions and skills to create one-of-a-kind works of art."
Ken and Ingrid melt sand and other raw materials into glass at temperatures
exceeding 2300 degrees Fahrenheit. They gather the molten glass onto blow
pipes, then through the use of heat, gravity, and centrifugal force, they
manipulate the glass into beautiful works of art.
The artists pay great attention to the detail of the surface decoration on
their vessels. They create brightly colored stripes and symbols of cane and
murrini by hand forming and melting glass into various shapes. During the
glass-blowing process they fuse these inclusions onto the surface of the
glass. They often include 24K gold and pure silver leaf in many of their pieces.
