Mirage Crystal Gallery carries Rollin Karg Art Glass
Is proud to carry the work of Rollin Karg
We met Rollin and has wife Patti at a show and
we were really taken with his pieces. We like sparkles
and pieces that make a statement (heavy wasn’t one of the
prerequisites but his pieces sure are weighty).
Here is what they
have to say:
Rollin Karg
How does an industrial
engineer come to be an
accomplished artist?
Rollin Karg, engineer turned
glassblower, has
turned one of his one-time hobbies into a
full time career. He attributes
his artistic inclination in
part to a strong desire to work with his hands
Standing under his spectacular awning
and facing the
furnace he built, Rollin concentrates on working
the hot molten glass. Skillfully
he turns a flowing globe,
adding intricate colorful designs to the crystal
clear mass. The fiery furnace
and forces of gravity heighten
the artists’ exhilaration at bringing
dramatic form to the soft, hot glass.
The excitement
and exquisitely unique glass pieces
are born
while building his first
furnace. He was born in Columbus,
Ohio but was raised in Miami, Florida.
We hope that wherever your home
may be that
