Molten glass is gathered, coloured and manipulated with heat and hand tools to create sculptural forms. Precision pulleys, ropes and mounting hardware are combined into systems used aboard racing sailboats; insulated wire is wound around magnetic cores to make inductors; and durable shells are formed, filled and sealed into weighted medicine balls.
