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 excitementis intensified by nature's own beautiful backdrop,
and exquisitely unique glass pieces are bornRollin studied hot glass at Emporia State University
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 you will always enjoy your KARG ART GLASS
