From the Artists:
Scott Graham & Cristy Aloysi, a husband & wife team, began their glassblowing careers at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY, where they became fascinated with the ancient process of glassmaking. The challenge of forming beautiful handmade objects out of this molten material captivated them. While in New York they became involved in the city’s energetic art and design world and have brought this influence into their work. After Urban Glass, the couple went on to study at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, WA., Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle ME., Centro Studio Vetro in Venice, Italy and Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle, WA. Scott and Cristy have taught glassblowing at Urban Glass, Snow Farm in Williamsburg, MA, Pratt Fine Art Center and at Maho Bay on St John in the US Virgin Islands. In 2002 Scott & Cristy moved to Seattle WA, the center of the American art glass movement, to create a line of contemporary glass objects for the home. Their goal was to create pieces that are unique in their clean lines and simple designs. After 11 years in Seattle the couple moved to Boulder Creek, CA. In the serene beauty of the redwoods they continue to design and make original blown glass pieces.
