Christopher Rich

When I first saw a glass blower working at a Renaissance Festival in  Maryland, I knew this would be my life. At sixteen I began my art education at the Corcoran Institute, then attended the California College of Arts and Crafts. While in the Bay area I also worked as an assistant to several glass artists and designers, gaining experience in a wide variety of techniques. 

I traveled to  Murano,  Italy  to study the techniques of present day glass masters as well as the history of glass blowing. Later I  was privileged to study art with a master of painting, Professor Silvio Loffredo of The Florence Academy of Art.

My European journey in glass art then took me to  England to learn innovative British glass blowing techniques at the renowned International Glass Centre in Brierley Hill.

Returning to the  US in 1994, I designed and built my own glass studio in  Portland,  Oregon, where I am able to pursue my passion full-time. I strive to share my love of glass with my apprentices and students, and to create a variety of designs that bring beauty, color and  joy to glass art lovers.
