Ben Richgruber, Artist Bio

Ben’s work explores the flow of hot glass. Using heat, gravity, and a little luck, the glass flows to create unique designs. Metal and plaster casting molds are used to create more complex and sculptural forms. Ben’s journey to glass started with pottery, spending a few years under the tutelage of Mel Sundby. In 2020 when everyone had a little more time on our hands, glass piqued his interest. He found Rachel Baker, who was kind enough to take him on as an apprentice, and was hooked. He continues to be excited, challenged, mesmerized and occasionally physically harmed by this amazing material.
