CHRIS LOWRY - GLASSMASTER
Chris Lowry has spent most of his life improving his art. Functional glass with a strong aesthetic appeal, his work has been described as “natural” and “captivating.” Chris states, “My work has a strong personality. A piece should grab your attention and then be able to keep it.”
Growing up in his father’s glass shop in Oregon, Chris became serious about his art at age 18 when he moved to Oahu. Working as an assistant teacher to glassblower Hugh Jenkins, Chris found himself with the freedom to explore the different possibilities glass had to offer. Chris’ move to Maui and a job at Hot Island Glass, taught him the importance of marketability. Chris earned a Bachelor’s Degree of Fine Arts with emphasis on Blown Glass/Steel Sculpture. He took top awards upon graduation.
Throughout his career, Chris has made it a point to learn from other glassblowers and has studied under master Pino Signoretto at Pilchuck Glass School and teachers at Penland School of Arts and Crafts.
In May of 2000, Chris and his long time friend Chris Richards bought Hot Island Glass.
CHRISTOPHER RICHARDS - GLASSMASTER
His handblown pieces are characterized by their classical forms with rich, vibrant colors in unexpected combinations.
Chris grew up in Washington, just outside Seattle. His first exposure to glassblowing was as a child, when he took frequent trips to his aunt and uncles glass studio and gallery in oregon. In his words, “Blowing glass is not something I set out to do, it’s something that just happened…once I tried it, I was hooked”.
After years honing his skills in several of Seattle’s most well-known studios, Chris moved to Maui to blow glass at Hot Island Glass, the studio his aunt and uncle started.
Demand for Chris’ work keeps him busy blowing glass for galleries, exhibitions, and private collectors.
“What I do requires me to be completely focused on the moment. Skill, planning, and preparation, are a large part of what goes into it, but you have to be open to the unexpected…at a certain point it’s just about playing, and that’s where it really gets fun.”
