Artist: Larry "Lars" Mack
Another aspect of my love of nature is continued emphasis on recycling glass that becomes a by product of glass blowing. One part of my recycling program is to use glass pieces with other odds and ends in my workshop to make recycled wind chimes. These wind chimes have been a popular item that I sell at art shows. The second part of my recycling program is to use the glass pieces which break off the blow pipes and puntes by fusing them into glass tiles. These tiles can be used for garden and home projects by the customer.
The third part of my recycling program is to grade the sizes of recycled glass and provide an opportunity for my customers to use their own artistic talents in creating works for the home and garden. The glass can be purchased in various size bags and include chunkees, mini chunkees, frit and glitter. This glass can be incorpoated into fusing or fill between a glass vase and votive candle.
I have taught classes on "How to create a small business as an artist" and provided consulting services to other artists.
Over the last fifteen years, I have licensed more than 17 of my works and create 3 copyrights on some of my pieces.
I am a member of the Ohio Designer Craftmens and the Michigan Guild. My work has been purchased by nearly 150 galleries and shops aroud the U.S. and Canada.
