Artists and Makers – Glass
When I moved to Philadelphia in 1983 right after college, I didn’t know its significance to Craft History. Nor was I in touch with the roots that grew into my passion for craft, specifically stained glass. The community here has been like finding a family I didn’t know existed–and such a family! Supportive, inspiring and stimulating. I consider Philadelphia integral to my craft practice, although that might not be visible in the work, it is a deep undercurrent.

BLOB BLOB Studio
Wes Heart is the founder of Blob Blob Studio which creates handmade glass artwork for you and your home. Wes’ work utilizes a playful approach to form and function. He founded Blob Blob Studio to focus on creating designs that do both. By intuitively collaging mediums and processes, he exaggerates each material’s beauty. Using bold color, the optical properties of glass, light, and texture, he creates impactful sculptural forms that demand further investigation.
