Bernard Katz has worked in glass since 1986. He is a gradate of temple University's Tyler School of Art, where he specialized in Glass Blowing and Glass Sculpture. He also studied abroad at the West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham, England. Bernard then apprenticed for several well known glass artists such as Leon Applebaum, David Garcia and Samuel Bloom before opening his own studio and gallery. His etched designs are all original and usually involve botanical subjects, creating a naturalistic yet contemporary feel. These designs lend themselves to display in all settings, from artistic home decor to corporate office enhancements. He designs each piece himself, combining modern equipment and ancient techniques. His shapes are created by hand, blowing the molten glass into 3 dimensional shapes. He creates work on commission and his work is included in numerous private and public collections throughout the United States.
