Gallery 137 is proud to present Heart of Glass, an exhibit of glass art by Joe Peters and Peter Muller.
Joe Peters is a young glass artist from western Massachusetts. Majoring in art at Holyoke Community College, Joe studied furnace glass and torch working at Snow Farm in Williamsburg, Massachusetts. Working with Bob Burch and Sally Prasch, Joe discovered glass to be a fast-paced medium he finds both a thrill and a challenge. Utilizing borosilic, and dichroic glass, Joe creates one-of-a-kind works of art. Each piece is hand blown and heated to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit producing a strong, high gloss finish. In addition to commissioned work, Joe has produced several series of individual pendants reflecting colors and patterns found in nature."
Vermont glass artist, Peter Muller, established Afternoon Glass Designs in 2001. His vision was, and still is, to create glass that captures the whimsical and fanciful essence of the animations, illustrations and books that inspired his passion for the arts as a child. Peter hopes that through his designs, adults and children alike can effortlessly engage with the arts and be inspired by the limitless possibilities of the imagination.
