About the artists:
Jacob Stout
Master
glassblower, Jacob Stout, joined the St. Pete hot Glass team during the
Summer of 2012. Relocating from Baltimore, MD, Jacob brings with him 15
years of glassblowing and hot shop management experience. In his role
as St Pete Hot Glass Director, Jacob teaches public glass blowing
classes, manages his apprentices and creates new works of his own
including a new piece to be unveiled on Second Saturday.
Charles Savoie
Charles
Savoie is a master glassblower who is nationally recognized for his
Italian style series of Zanfirico goblets. Zanfirico refers to a type
of latticino cane made of colored glass rods that are twisted together
to create complex patterns. His goblets are a technical marvel not only
in their perfect form, which borders on the non-functional as some
pieces are as tall as fifteen inches, but also because of his expertise
in glass chemistry. Charles makes all his own glasses from scratch,
combining sand and metallic oxides; sometimes using 17th century
Venetian and Bohemian formulas which he modifies. Because of this
unusual commitment to the science of glass, he has formulated a material
with special working qualities and a unique color palette that has been
essential in creating his signature style.
Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, noon-5pm and by appointment.
