Reviving the age old techniques of blown glass, Strini Art Glass shapes brilliant glass into objects of rare and timeless beauty.
Entering the fifth decade of award winning achievements, Strini Art Glass continues to maintain a commitment to superior quality. Strini Art Glass is an important, respected and collectable craft.
Rick Strini personally crafts each piece through its many stages. Following complex melting procedures, Rick gathers molten glass from his furnace and carefully blows each piece into shape. With a skillful flick of the wrist, or turn of the hand, the molten glass gets shaped just so. Each piece is put into a second kiln for slow cooling -- carefully relieving all stress caused by the shrinkage of the glass. The finished pieces, once cooled, are awarded Rick's signature. This is hand-formed glass by one of the few artists who can claim this legacy of skill and craftsmanship.
Widely collected, Rick Strini's work has been exhibited internationally for four decades. In addition to the Louis Tiffany Exhibition at the De Young Museum in San Francisco, Rick has been included in many prestigious catalogs, including Neiman-Marcus, Horchow, and the Smithsonian.
