Description

     
Width 12", Height 10". This beautiful one-of-a-kind hand blown glass vase/bowl/centerpiece has all the shades of a rainbow including red, yellow, blue, green, purple and aqua, plus clear glass and a section made with black and clear canes. The colorful bands of colors were achieved by using the complex Italian Encalmo process. There are a total of 7 different color sections - all were assembled while the glass was hot. One mistake during this complex process will result in a "floor model" (broken glass on the floor). Be sure to zoom in to see all the details. This work is signed "Goodman" and in perfect condition with no chips, cracks or any structural defects. This piece is very stable and will not wobble at all. It comes with a money back guarantee. Sent along with this piece comes an artist picture and bio.

About Us



 
     Thank you for viewing my glass work...   My name is Darren and I've been blowing glass for two decades.  I first learned in college (Bowling Green State University) in 2000, and received a BFA with a specialization in glass blowing.  In 2005 I decided to began my own glassblowing workshop and company called "Dirwood Glass".
 
      For the past 15 years, I have been sharing my passion for glass through exhibiting art at museums across the nation, creating and collaborating with companies as prestigious as Pepsi, Marriot and Ferrari to name a few (you can see some of the Ferrari photos below), as well as creating unique art for individual collectors. 
    
      The most recent leap in my career, has been creating a mobile glass furnace, which has enabled me to share my passion for the art and process of blowing glass outside of the studio, and into the world.  Here are some pictures of places I have been able to take my glass mobile furnace and share my love of glass with others. Please enjoy!

Buy directly from the artist/studio and save BIG!
     
      Galleries typically mark up artworks by 50 % or even more. As a professional artist, I?ve worked with several galleries and retailers over the years, but I have come to prefer selling directly to the customer.  Whether the client is a huge corporation like Pepsi or Ferrari, or simply an ordinary person, I have found many benefits to selling direct.
 
Here are a few advantages to buying directly from the artist:
 
  • Collectors and buyers can build a relationship with the artist. 
  • Collectors can also contact the artist directly with any questions they might have, which invariably adds a more personable touch.
  • Galleries typically discourage their collectors to contact artists directly. 
  • 50% savings is passed onto the client simply by buying direct!
  • By purchasing online it enables you to directly keep in touch from me via a newsletter or new posts regarding new work.urchasing online it enables you to directly keep in touch from me via a newsletter or new posts regarding new work.

Artist Bio
     
     Darren Goodman was born in 1981 in Maineville, Ohio.  He was first introduced to the glass blowing process at college.  A graduate of  Bowling Green State University, Goodman apprenticed under glass master Leon Applebaum in Corning, New York. He has also studied with studio glass legends Dante Marioni, Lino Tagliapietra and Davide Salvadore.
       
      In 2005 the young artist established his own glass studio in Waynesville, Ohio. Two years later Ferrari North America commissioned him to create trophies for the International Challenge Races.  A teacher as well as an artist, Goodman has coordinated classes for students at elementary, high school, and college levels. His work has been exhibited and shared with audiences throughout the World.

     Goodman employs a hands-on approach and shares the tenets of the studio glass movement. He is concerned with the distinct properties of the material and embraces both the practice?s tradition and experimentation. Through his work he explores the textures, scale, and the implied functionality of each piece. He also emphasizes the collaborative and performance aspects of glassmaking, which is in keeping with the movement's emphasis on process.
       
      Most recently his "Glass Experience", a performance which combines both his musical and glassblowing creations into a interactive production, is being shared with people around the world. Through the common theme of team-work through glassblowing, Goodman translates into our everyday life, the unlimited potential of working together.
