Glasswork by artist Roy Hartman,  Both Recovered  and Art glass.

Welcome to my  website. It shows a sampling of gift items that I craft from a variety of glass materials.  Wherever possible, I work with recovered (recycled) glass items such as wine and beverage bottles, window panes, kitchen cannisters, stained glass and  water goblets.   But I also use commercial art glass as well,  due to the variety of colors, hues and shapes available.  I do all the glass fusing, slumping and torchwork in my home studio. Every item that I do is a one-of-a-kind original.  No two alike......Hope you enjoy your visit.

Joy and Mystery

There is a joy and mystery that comes with working with glass.  There is a satisfaction in making glass art objects, utilizing the many vibrant colors available in  commercial art glass....., But the greatest joy comes from taking a piece of dull, discarded, recovered/recycled glass and transforming it into an object of brilliance and beauty.  Recovered glass pieces  have a richer texture and character about them.... and a history as well.
