MARK PRICHETT

While touring Brittany in France in autumn 2010, I stumbled onto two galleries devoted to fused glass creations.  I was amazed by the range of color, of shape, of expression.  I was intrigued and thought that maybe glass fusion would be a medium that an old guy who had never attempted artistic expression might experiment with and hopefully discover some hidden bit of talent.

​

The challenge of the glass medium, how to use color and shape to create interest, how to use the heat of the kiln to broaden impact, finding a creative niche and at the same time remain receptive to multiple avenues of expression is keeping me off-center and driving my interest. Where all of this is going is of less concern than just going.
