Sunrise Glass - Scott Simmons Scott mostly works alone in his studio, creating functional, sculptural, and decorative pieces offhand at the furnace.Color is applied to pieces in several ways. Often he will blend bits of molten colored glasses into a small globule on the end of the blowpipe, using as many as 5 or 6 colors, some as gentle washes of color, others in strong, contrasting patterns. A quantity of clear glass is gathered over the colored bit, and the piece is blown out and shaped by traditional methods and tools. Other times a color pattern is created by more standard techniques; picking up colored canes, murrini, or shards of colored glass on the side of the hot bubble as it is blown. His forms range from traditional vases and bowls with tightly controlled shapes to stretched, playful versions of traditional vessels which exploit the fluid nature of the hot glass as they are created. Scott's botanical training and experience shows up in his work in the earthy colors and decorative designs on the pieces and in the soft, organic nature of some of the forms.   Oil Lamp 4.5" Blue $40.00 Each lamp has a swirl of complementary colors around the middle, creating a uniquely beautiful design. 4.5 inches   Oil Lamp 4.5" Gold $40.00 Each lamp has a swirl of complementary colors around the middle, creating a uniquely beautiful design. 4.5 inches   Oil Lamp 4.5" Purple/Ruby $40.00 Each lamp has a swirl of complementary colors around the middle, creating a uniquely beautiful design. 4.5 inches Oil Lamp 4.5" Purple $40.00 Each lamp has a swirl of complementary colors around the middle, creating a uniquely beautiful design.   Oil Lamp 4.5" Ruby $40.00 Each lamp has a swirl of complementary colors around the middle, creating a uniquely beautiful design.   Oil Lamp 4.5" Teal $40.00 Each lamp has a swirl of complementary colors around the middle, creating a uniquely beautiful design.
