“The Ocean stirs the Heart, inspires the Imagination and brings eternal joy to the Soul” – Robert Wyland

 The Ocean is mysterious, wild and free.  The Beautiful colors of the Fish reflect the ocean and all  the living souls within it.

Foster Holcombe’s fascination with creating art glass began in 1976 with his stained glass studio in Denver, Colorado. In 1978, he attended a summer seminar in enameling techniques at Pilchuck and his love for hot glass began. In 1980-81 he studied glassblowing, decorating and technology in Stourbridge - the heart of England’s glass industry.  

The artist combines the art of sculpture and painting in a process of free-blowing glass – transforming molten glass at 2000 degrees Fahrenheit into Art Glass – using the skills of calculated timing and continual movement while working the molten glass.

Ribbons of vibrant color run through each Fish.  Colors subtly change depending on the light.

Todd Hansen joined the Art of Fire studio 1999 and Josh Ries joined in 2003. The Work is collaborative and distinctive and each Fish is literally One- of- a-Kind.
