GartnerBlade

GartnerBlade is the collaborative work of Danielle Blade & Stephen Gartner. Business partners since 1996, they combine their ideas, techniques and experiences to create original works in both blown and sculpted hot glass. GartnerBlade are continually developing a series of pieces that explores their interpretation of objects used in rituals and worship. The inspiration for these pieces begins with their mutual fascination with the many vessels and sculptural objects that are revered in the rituals of both primitive and contemporary cultures. Their work merges traditional hand blown glass techniques with innovative color applications and original sculpting techniques.
