October’s Featured Artist: Brian Costner

“I create one-of-a-kind kilnformed glass and ceramic art. A fused glass bowl adds color and interest to a room, then becomes a centerpiece for a special meal shared with family and friends. A handbuilt ceramic vase shows off a flower in a uniquely personal way.

At home or the office, make these works of fine craft part of your everyday life or provide them as memorable gifts for weddings, holidays, or as corporate awards.

During the course of a year, I make a few dozen pieces in a limited number of styles and several pieces that explore new techniques or approaches.” - Brian Costner

Telescopic images of the sun inspired this 16" bowl. Orange and yellow sprays out from the center into the blues of a vibrant sky. The surface of the fused glass retains texture that keeps the light moving over and through the bowl.
