Resident Artists

Foster Holcombe’s interest in glass began in 1976 with his stained glass studio in Denver, Colorado. While attending a summer seminar in enameling techniques at Pilchuck in 1978, Foster became interested in hot glass. In 1980-81 he studied glassblowing, decorating and technology in the Stourbridge area of England, the heart of England’s glass industry.

In 1985, Theda Hansen joined Foster and together they have designed a line of glass uniquely their own. Between them, Foster and Theda offer more than 30 years of art experience.

Todd Hansen joined the studio in 1999, Bruce Ferguson in 2000, Josh Ries in 2003 and Keith Daly in 2005. Each brings his own individual and collaborative style to the Art of Fire while assisting with production and instructing glassblowing classes. They also assist with glass classes at Corning Glass Studio in New York.

We are delighted to add the work of Steve Fenstermacher to the Art of Fire. Steve’s work was formerly carried by Youghigheny Glass.
