Jay Curtis: "ArtGlass & Metal" in the Arts & Crafts tradition

Jay Curtis is a craftsman specializing in etched glass and metal, and his techniques include "water-jet cutting, hand painting, airbrushing, leading, beveling and glue-chipping." His work ranges from the whimsical to the elegant, and much of it is very strongly influenced by the floral designs of the Arts & Crafts Movement.

One recent line of products includes etched "special occasion" bowls, available for sale through the website.

Photos of Jay's more Arts & Crafts-influenced work are up in our art glass album on Flickr.

I have worked with Stained glass as a hobby for quite some time now. All of my work is original. I always enjoy pushing the envelope. I once did a series of small item ( tropical Fish) which I intended to submit for a catalog to one of the stainded glass catalog companys.
The letter I recieved back was somewhat of a surprise. Although the work was not necessarily all that difficult to do, it did have some skill challenges. There answer: Wonderfull work but would most likely be to difficult for the average person to create.
I enjoyed this post about glass as it demonstrates the ability of others to get the most from art especially from a medium that may have a public perception of being quite contained.
