Fall Decorating with The Furnace

These colorful glass pumpkins are all handmade by American glass artist Corey Silverman. Corey was formally trained in at Alfred University in New York. Corey had worked in many glass studios before settling in Denver, Colorado. His studies with glass have led him to experiment with slumped forms, casting, cold work, solid sculpting and blowing. His favorite has been the blown form. “I love the immediacy found in making a blown vessel. There’s no questioning what it’s going to look like. You know the end result as you’re putting it away in the annealer. It feels great to have that kind of instant gratification in an art form.”
