Studio Artists at Work




Syl Mathis is one of the Washington Glass School 'studio artists'.
His finely crafted boats are highly sought after for their poetic compositions.

Syl creates plaster silica molds and loads with glass. He fires the glass for at least two days, and then cold-works the cast glass.









Tough guy - but cries at the slightest glass cut.
