Cluster lamps: exploring the balance between weight and lightness. A solid block of timber is cut on the bias then divided into 4. Each section becomes an individual lamp and when placed together its angled geometry reveals the raw structure of the original block.
The design draws from Brutalist principles-honest material, visible structure, and bold geometry. Unexpected colored globes embody the Esque aesthetic of joy in design.
Come join us this evening at Design Within Reach in PDX. 5-8 for Block Party. Presented by @madepdx and @designwithinreach local design professionals are invited to transform simple wooden blocks into unique woks of art.

New release!
Eclipse Portable Lamps in small milk + indigo and large milk + bronze.. rejecting the idea that everything must be perfectly symmetrical to be beautiful. During the making process, the glass is nudged off center then allowed to respond to gravity, breath, and heat.
Accent color is drawn from the lip of the vessel and travels organically through the form, creating variations in density and depth that cannot be replicated exactly. These asymmetries and shifts are preserved as evidence of the human hand and the moment of making.
The result is a hand-blown glass lamp with sculptural tension and quiet movement. No two Eclipse lamps are identical, but each adheres to a shared language of scale, outline, and proportion.
For design-forward collectors and lovers of studio-made objects, Eclipse embodies Esque Studio’s philosophy of glass and light… quiet enchanting transformation of space. It suggests that lighting can be contemplative, tactile, and deeply personal.

Colony: hand blown glass art/design object
From my two person show with Justin Parker.
Glassscapes at Vetri Gallery. Now on view, and part of Refract Seattle!!
This is my favorite work from the show. First of all it came out exactly as I imagined it to, which was quite a feat. I made this at The Museum of Glass and it took 6 people 3 hours to complete, not to mention the beautiful tedious polishing job. Secondly, I’m in love with this color palette. And most of all I just loved the process and that it actually worked!!
Many of my pieces in the exhibit are explorations into color, material and form. Disassociated from what is considered proper technique, the glass is manipulated sculpturally as pure mass and material.
Now on view at Vetri Gallery Seattle.
Aerial Forms 1,2 + 3.
Each piece starts with a transparent color overlay. Before the last hot gather, Andi does a roll up of about 28 chips of pure color rod. Each color reacts at a different rate to the heat, effecting the colors outlines and size. The glass is shaped with cork pads and metal taglios inside and outside to mimic Birds Eye views of mountains and land swatches.
Hand blown and sculpted glass approximately 10” x 12” x 15”
Please DM or inquire with @vetriglass for more details and pricing. On view through November 3rd.
