Celestial Glass
Arch Enamels, 5 x 11, Red/Blue, Glass with copper accents
Jim and Connie Grant have been collaborative glassblowing partners since 1972, when the process of blowing glass fascinated them both. Since then, they have followed their love of the medium through many creative changes, always following their own inventive ideas. Today they create unique vessels and perfume bottles in vivid colored glass. Some have carved silver glass overlays and others are wrapped with copper knots and weaves. All are etched with garnet granules under very high pressure, and are signed by the artist. The Grants earned their degrees from U.C., Berkeley. Their work is included in pubic and private collections throughout the U.S. and abroad.
Celestial Art Glass works are all hand blown, cut and polished, and sandblasted to achieve the frosted finish.
Their work is included in the collections of the Kansas City Museum of Art, MO; the Byer Museum of the Arts, IL; the Carnegie Cultural Arts Center, CA; and the Wheaton Village Museum. NJ. They were commissioned to create work for Star Trek Voyager and are in the private and corporate collections of Johnson & Johnson, Este Lauder, Heather Locklear, Kirstie Alley, and Elton John.
