BACK TO ARTWORK Artist's Biography Solinglass is a small studio located in Beautiful Southern Vermont. Randi, a Cum Laude graduate of Alfred University, uses a fusion of the American studio art glass movement and classic Venetian glassblowing to create truly one-of-a kind pieces of art. David Solin, who helped start Solinglass used his background in painting from the California College of Arts & Crafts, has been an integral part of the design process until 2002 when Randi went solo. Glass is used in its various forms approaching each piece as a painter to a canvas. The work is a painstaking process, building layer upon layer of color to achieve a new and original homogeneous coloration. The influence of Asian aesthetics is evident, in the use of color, and the juxtaposition of simplicity of form with the start hard edge of the polished lip. The optics is a window into the depth of each piece, designed to show off the layering process, like rings of a tree, from conception to completion. “My colorations are reminiscent of rich fabric and textiles. A design is successful if I want to try it on like a dress.” Randi’s art is in many private and public collections.
