CORK CRYSTAL
I have been working with glass for over 40 years and I am a Certified Irish Master Glass Cutter. Each piece of Cork Crystal is hand cut by me using a diamond wheel on my classic 1950’s Spatzier cutting lathe. My signature style is unique as I don’t use guide lines while cutting. Each piece is taken in hand blank and thought over, then my work begins completely freehand. The wheel is my brush, the glass is my canvas.
