About Brad Pearson Glass Studio

I primarily make fun glass marbles and sculptures using traditional lampworking techniques. Using glass rods and a torch the glass is melted into a sphere as I design the colors for the surface work. Most of my work features surface work patterns using a variety of dot stack techniques. ------Bio---- Since Graduating in 1994 From the Fine Crafts department of VCU, I have pursued glass art as a career. In 1995 I founded Pearson Glass Studio as a furnace working studio and operated it until 2000. Upon the birth of my children, I scaled back and focused on smaller scale work through lampworking. During this time, I was also a Scientific glass blower for Research Glass Inc. where I got to develop my torch skills and learn from some older masters of glass working. In 2005 I began to teach lampworking both to local beginning students and around the country with advanced skills workshops for more advanced artists. I have had the honor of being a speaker at several of the International Society of Beadmaking conferences along with The International Lampwork Festival in Japan. My current work focuses mainly on larger art marbles. After 20 years as a part time artist and a full time work from home parent I am working to expand sales and focus more on growing the art business. Read their story
