For Denver artist, Karrie McBryde, working with hot glass is a magical experience. When the glass is taken from the 2100 degree furnace, it is very fluid. Throughout the process of working with the glass, it becomes less malleable. At each stage of the process & through multiple reheats, Karrie, who usually works solo, has learned to coax the glass into what her head and heart envision. She loves the interaction of color, light and form. Most of Karrie’s pieces are practical as well as beautiful, supporting her belief that beauty should surround us in our daily lives.
