I am a trained graphic designer, a very controlled (and controlling) mechanism for communication which can be very hard to break out of: it's very hard for me to be loose.</p> <p>Along came glass, I'm not really sure how it found me, but through it I've finally been able to give up some of that control, or actually, I've been forced to give it up. It's taken some time and some of frustration, but I've grown to respect that glass mostly does what it wants to do, and no matter what I envision and no matter how careful I am with the medium, it still misbehaves a little. I love the happy accidents. I love the unhappy accidents. I love that I am constantly surprised.</p> <p>So while I'm still pretty uptight in how and what I want to communicate, I've succumbed that glass goes ahead with its own multilingual interpretations of my intentions, without my permission, and that this is both good for me and for the glass.</p> </span> </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"> <span class="bodytext"> <hr> <b>Susanne Khawand</b><br> <a href="http://www.skglassdesign.com">www.skglassdesign.com</a> <img align="right" src="sk2.jpg"> <p><i>"If simplicity is the art of taking away the unnecessary so that only beauty remains, I am a true believer in the axiom that less is more. For me, the proper conduction of colors and shapes is an emotional expression."</i></p> <p>Susanne Khawand has always been attracted by the process of "creation" but never knew what exciting journey is waiting for her in the fascinating world of creating art. At the age of seventeen, she moved to Stuttgart and discovered her appreciation for art. Artists shown in the Staatsgallerie Stuttgart such as Oskar Schlemmer, Max Beckmann, and Alberto Giacometti are some of her early fascinations followed by Bauhaus and the "Der Blaue Reiter" (The Blue Rider) artist group. </p> <p>Susanne learned working in various media such as ceramics, charcoal paint, photography, black and white development, and film making and it took her several detours before arriving at her true passion: fused glass.</p> <p>Upon graduating from college, Susanne became a registered nurse, then a film and video producer, and finally, a marketing communications consultant for technology companies which brought her to the United States in 2001. </p> <p>In 2004, she found fused glass — and it became her passion. Today, Susanne lives in San Francisco and does her glass work at Public Glass Studio.</p> </span> </p></td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"> <span class="bodytext"> <hr> <b>Herb Dang <br> <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/herbatlarge"> http://homepage.mac.com/herbatlarge</a></b><br> <img align="right" src="hd1.jpg"> <p>What I expect from my creations is:</p> <ul><li>Creating texture in unexpected ways, <li>Depth in 2 dimensional objects, <li>Joy from the creation of everyday objects that are overlooked till I remake them. </ul> <p>I produce art that is functional, usable everyday, wearable and that brings beauty into our everyday life.</p> <p>I play with glass and metal to get texture, color, and surprise.</p> <p>One of my greatest satisfactions is to visualize an object, make it, and have it be a surprise in finished form.</p> <p>Embrace Change-Make Art-Play with Fire</p> </span> </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"> <span class="bodytext"> <hr> <b>Katherine Bellevin <br><a href="http://www.lumenade.com"> http://www.lumenade.com</a></b><br> <img align="right" src="kb1.jpg"> <p>My glasswork is primarily concerned with color and light, and how these factors can bring out the unique properties of the glass.
