"No medium’s properties are quite so dichotomous as those of glass. It is harder than stone in many cases, and so enduring that wine glasses made by the Romans have survived intact to this day. At the same time its fragility puts it at perpetual odds with gravity, and any hard surface around it could spell glass’s instant doom. In a sense, glass is representative of humanity’s will to create as a whole. Here we are, spinning around through space, creating marvel after marvel, when at any moment some indifferent cosmic missile could transform our entire experiment to soot.
Glass has few stronger proponents than Fargo’s own Jon Offutt, who in his studio House of Mulciber heats, blows, and spins the material into truly beautiful things. “I spent my time in high school sculpting clay, but I was drawn to glassblowing shortly thereafter,” explained Jon. “Glass is like clay for its malleability, and working in the vessel form is always intriguing because it causes you to look for ways to bend its rules however you can. Where glass best outshines clay, however, is that in working with it you get to play with fire." From shop.dine.live. magazine (
