Solin Glass
Susan Benjamin Glass etc. is proud to present the work
of Randi Solin. Randi Solin became inspired to pursue a
career in fine art glass in 1984, when she happened
across a glassblower at work in a school studio and
became spellbound by the glassblowing process. She
established her first glassblowing studio in Mt. Shasta,
CA in 1995, and three years later Solin glass was
relocated to its current studio in Brattleboro, VT.
Randi Solin has been committed to the art of blown
glass for over 20 years, dazzling collectors and
colleagues alike with her exceptional technical skill and
highly inventive coloration style. The recipient of many
Best in Show and Best in Glass awards, her work has
been exhibited in museums and solo gallery shows
nationwide.
Solin incorporates techniques found in both classes
Venetian glassblowing and the American Art Glass
movement. However, atypical to the art of blown glass,
she takes a two-dimensional approach to her work:
assigning her pieces a ‘front’, and using a composition
of color that is often opaque, working much like a
painter to a canvas. Solin’s coloration process is
complex and varied, using layer upon layer of glass in all
particle sizes, and often incorporating sheets of
sterling silver, fine strands of steel wool, or a hand
‘drawing’ in black glass cane. The optics of Solin’s work
– the cut and polished top – is an integral part of her
process, her signature of sorts, and an important
component of her work.
