 Fenton
USA Presents. . .
A Visual Delight!
Fenton Art Glass is both pleased and proud of its collaboration
with glass artisan Nathan Sheafor. Part owner of The Glass Forge
and Gallery in Grants Pass, Oregon, Sheafor's glass art is often
described as ''Venetian style'' as he combines glass colors and
forms in unusual ways. Each piece is distinctive and unique, and
all reflect the finest traditions in the history of glassmaking.
“Nathan’s
love of color, shape and form caught our eyes
at a showing of
gallery artists. He adds a new dimension to
our Studio line of
featured artists,” said Nancy Fenton, Director of Design at Fenton
Art Glass. His limited edition pieces use recycled Fenton colors,
adding an ecological dimension to the Fenton Studio Collection.
Working
with Fenton craftsmen in 2008, Nathan Sheafor designed and created
items for our Fenton Studio Collection. While at the Fenton
factory in Williamstown, Sheafor worked closely with glass artisan
Frank Workman. “We learned from each other,” Sheafor said, “and I
really enjoyed being able to work with Fenton’s glass colors.”
Molten glass was rolled in “frit” (crushed recycled glass) and
then heated, shaped, re-heated, and polished to produce dramatic
results. According to Sheafor, “The use of color, movement, form, and composition are key elements in each piece created.” Both the exterior and interior
surfaces of Sheafor's glass creations feature vibrant,
multi-colored effects that are attained only through a painstaking
process...but the end result is
indeed, a visual delight!

Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs
Films at Fenton
Fenton employees recently participated in filming an episode of
the Discovery Channel television show Dirty Jobs. Show host
Mike Rowe tried his hand at several jobs, including decorating (t-shirt
logo shown above), gathering, warming in, and he
even created an offhand piece under the guidance of Fenton
craftsman Frank Workman. His ''dirtiest'' job, however, was
''ladling
the pot'' or cleaning out the glass tank at the end of
the day to prepare it
for the next glass batch. The tank
temperature was near 2400 degrees during the process. Rowe said he gained a new appreciation for a
''dirty job'' that has the end result of a beautiful work of art. The show
is expected to air in 2009. Show times will be listed on our website:
