Gabriel Bloodworth, Glass Artist

A second generation glass blower from Springfield, Missouri. Gabe and his father, Terry, operate Springfield Hot Glass. His pieces reflect the connection between his father and him; merging Terry's take on traditional designs with Gabe's love of contemporary forms and abstract color schemes.

He pours a great deal of love and passion into his glass and it holds a place of great importance in his life.

Kathy McCormick, Glass Artist

Kathy is fascinated by the alchemy of light, reflection and color and is amazed by the many forms that glass art can take. Her work uses clean lines to balance the intense, dramatic colors of dichroic and iridized glass. She places great importance on form and meticulous craftsmanship.

Dani Underwood, Glass Artist

Dani's work is based on the flow of hot glass and imagination. An idea she has while working glass in the flame of her torch may change as the fluid physical properties of the glass give her a new vision. From her whimsical character beads to the focal beads in her jewelry designs, Dani enjoys utilizing form along with color.
