Robin Grabowski’s glasswork is original in design and is inspired by nature and the sense of fun in the animals she surrounds herself with. Her glass bowls and plates are made by fusing layers of powdered glass in a kiln, then slumping the flat object into a mold in a second firing.
The tables are a collaboration with a metal sculptor, Michael Hibner, who constantly comes up with new ideas to fit the glass Robin designs. These are 1” thick fused layers of glass with color and foils imbedded in the artwork. Each piece takes a minimum of 48 hours to fire in the kiln and can have 2 or 3 firings.
Robin has been working in the glass medium since 1971 and continues to find new and different ways to see her art. She lives on 400 acres above Lyons, Colorado in the foothills with her horses, cats and dogs that are a constant inspiration.
