How does an industrial engineer come to be an accomplished artist? Rollin Karg, engineer turned glassblower, has turned one of his one-time hobbies into a full time career.
He attributes his artistic inclination in part to a strong desire to work with his hands. Standing under his spectacular awning and facing the furnace he built, Rollin concentrates on working the hot molten glass. Skillfully he turns a flowing globe, adding intricate colorful designs to the crystal clear mass. The fiery furnace and forces of gravity heighten the artists’ exhilaration at bringing dramatic form to the soft, hot glass. The excitement is intensified by nature's own beautiful backdrop, and exquisitely unique glass pieces are born. Rollin studied hot glass at Emporia State University while building his first furnace. His birthplace was Columbus, Ohio but was raised in Miami, Florida. We hope that wherever your home may be that you will always enjoy your KARG ART GLASS
