Skye Perry Norton

Theresa
Brodzinski-Norton
Skye was born in Oberlin, Ohio  on January 23,1976.   He grew
up on a farm in a small town nearby.  As a young boy, Skye
would often wander off from his parents at the local county fair.  
Thankfully, his parents knew they would find him watching the
glass blowers at work.  On a third grade field trip to a local
Quaker village, he saw gaffers creating traditional Murano-style
blown glass.  It was at  this moment  he knew that he wanted to
become a glass artist.  
As the years passed, Skye tried his hand at other types of art.  
He developed a skill for making jewelry from wire and
gemstones, slowly trading and selling jewelry for soda lime
glass and tools to get started in the medium.  It wasn't until
Skye was in his early twenties that he discovered borosilicate
lampworking.  The creative wheels began turning, and he
decided to pursue borosilicate work immediately.  
Skye made the transition from soft glass to borosilicate, and
has not looked back.  He began by making small things at first,
beads and small marbles, then expanded by applying what he
had learned from soda lime to borosilicate, and eventually
progressed into blown tube work.  He has learned many
techniques from videos, books, seminars, and classes taught
by master glass artists, yet he also learns experientially by
trying to act on his own unique ideas. He remains fascinated  by
borosilicate glass due to its endless possibilities and its
unexplored  territories . His goal is to take borosilicate art glass
to a new level, and being self-taught has allowed him to
become a versatile, unique, and creative artist.   
In August 2005  he was certified by Glass Alchemy Ltd. owner
Henry Grimmett to teach "The Fundamental Science of
Borosilicate Color".  This seminar and subsquent certification
has helped him  to achieve higher quality and clarity in the
colors and dichroic in his art. All of the artist's work is signed
and dated and bears series numbers when applicable.  Skye
will continue to bend the rules and explore unseen corners with
borosilicate  glass, aspiring to create the most unique art glass
on the planet, and hoping that his work will be enjoyed for
generations to come.
Theresa Brodzinski-Norton hails from New Philadelphia,
OH.  Born March 4, 1980, she lived there until leaving
for college at the University of Houston (Honors College)
in Texas.  Ever since she was a small child, she has
always loved all forms of art and music.  Throughout her
young life, she worked with acrylics, oil paints, and
pencil drawing.  Later, she studied and worked with
ceramic pottery, and has worked as a
seamstress/clothing designer.  Music has been a huge
presence in her life.  She can play trumpet, harmonica,
and a little accordion, and  acoustic 12-string guitar
remains one of her passions. As a young adult she still
carried artistic aspirations, but had yet to find her
medium of choice.  
A visit to Colorado in 1998 sparked a love affair with the
Rocky Mountains.  It was the spark of inspiration she
had longed for.  In the fall of 2000 she left Texas,
turning her back on a college scholarship,  to move to
Fort Collins, Colorado and pursue her dreams.  It was
here that she first was introduced to glass as a medium,
and the idea was born to pursue glass blowing as a
career.  It was also here that she first met Skye Perry
Norton and they decided to pool their resources and
start  a workshop together.  
She is mainly self-taught, and though she studied art
history while in college, she has received no formal art
training.  This allows her to go beyond any perceived
limitations, to move beyond the accepted realm of what
is art.  Now that she has determined glass is her chosen
medium, Theresa has been working diligently for the
past four years to develop a unique style, to find her
voice in the global glass art community.  
In August 2005, she was certified by Glass Alchemy Ltd.
to teach "the Fundamental Science of  using Colored
Borosilicate".  Because of this course, Theresa has a
solid grasp on the chemistry that is involved in working
colored glass and uses this knowledge to achieve
superior results in her work.  She took third place
honors at the Ohio Art on the Square Festival  in June,
2006.  
Artist's statement
"I am constantly trying to expand my knowledge of glass
and my vision for its use.  I have chosen glass as a
medium because of its long-standing tradition, and
specifically borosilicate for its versatility and durability.  I
am very passionate about both the natural world and the
human condition.  These are my biggest creative
influences.  I want to inspire people to question, think,
and act:  to change when change is needed and to hold
fast when something is worth defending.  I also want to
inspire a feeling of awe with my work.  I can best explain
it as that feeling you get when experiencing something
beautiful beyond description, maybe the most amazing
sunset you've ever seen, or the perfect harmony in a
song, and you are so overwhelmed it's hard to know
whether to laugh or cry, but you feel it right down to the
very core of your being,  It's the feeling of being alive in
the moment, that makes you want to create a thousand
more of those moments. This is what creating (glass) art
 is to me, and what I hope to share with the world."  
Artist's statement
All of my art is straight from the heart and fueled by my passion
for the borosilicate glass medium.  My biggest influences are
my Native American roots and passion for nature.  I am also  
driven every day by my own will to be successful, and to help
carry on the tradition of flameworking.  What is most fulfilling to
me is to create a piece of art from my inspiration and then to
see it inspire the rest of the community as well.  The best
feeling in the world is when someone else sees my work, and it
inspires a smile.  That satisfaction drives me to keep creating
more works of art.  Working with borosilicate glass is a
symphony of heat, metal oxides, and sand harmonizing to
become one creation.  As a lampworker, I am the conductor of
that symphony.
