About The Artists:

ELBO GLASS

Elbo began blowing glass in 2006, and started making functional glass in 2009. His goal with all of his work, is to bridge the gap between art and functional pipe making. Elbo mainly taught himself glass techniques by watching YouTube videos.

A true rags to riches story, Elbo used to be a hotdog vendor, slinging dogs from a cart in California. He soon found his calling, quitting his job pushing meat on a bun after making his very first pipe in a small studio in San Francisco.

Elbo and his crew in Denver, CO are fore-runners in a modern day Renascence of sorts, pushing the boundaries of whats' possible in this industry. 

JOE PETERS

Joseph Quinn Peters (born November 25, 1983) is an American glass artist who specializes in the sculpture of natural life-forms. An avid scuba diver, Joe has been heavily influenced by wildlife and the natural world. His solo work and collaborations have been featured in galleries and

museums across the United States including Corning Museum Gallery, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Pismo Gallery, Hodgell Gallery, and Dane Gallery. 

Born in Springfield Mass, Peters was active in the local art scene at a young age. While attending Holyoke Community College, Peters began glassblowing and later studied flameworking at Snow Farm, a craft school based in Williamsburg, MA. Peters later became established as a

flameworking teacher, teaching at Snow Farm, Corning Glass Museum, and the Penland Art School.

Peters attributes the greatest influence on his work to be from glass artists Robert Michelson and Vittorio Costantini, while he is most impressed by contemporary artists Buck and Banjo. Peters also draws on instruction from glass artists such as Robert Burch, Sally Prasch, Milon Townsend,

Robert Mickelsen, and Emilio Santini. In 2012, encouraged by growing international demand from private collectors and galleries, Peters created work that was increasingly inclusive of functional glass components. In order to be closer to the glass community and to do more collaborative

work, Peters relocated to Evergreen, CO., where he joined the Everdream Studio with other flameworkers, N8, Adam G, WJC, Elbo, and Eusheen. On his own and through collaborative engagements, Peters continues to create pieces for glass enthusiasts worldwide. Peters has created an

aquarium that is on display at the Boston Children's Hospital as of 2012.
