In his Napier based studio,
just outside of Ames, Art Ciccotti
bends and pulls molten glass to
create one of a kind vases, platters,
wall installations and more. Art is a
Southern California native who
moved to Ames and received his
degree in Art and Design from Iowa
State University in 1987. He found
his passion there when he began
learning glassblowing basics as a
member of The Gaffers Guild, ISUs
glassblowing club. Aside from
attending various workshops postgraduation, he is a mostly self-taught glassblower.
Arts techniques are heavily influenced by Venetian glass work,
which is evident in his use of curvilinear forms and colorful glass. He
enjoys exploring different color combinations, shapes and levels of
functionality. Arts work stands as a visual homage to natural forms like
flowers, weather and animals; he strives to connect his work to the
natural beauty of these things. If you have the perfect piece of unique
glasswork in mind, Art takes custom orders and even offers lessons for
all experience levels.
