Curtiss Brock
glass
If you define “craft” as dedication to a material, then Curt Brock is truly a master craftsman. Curt has spent 25 years getting to know glass. His vast experience includes earning a Masters degree in Fine Arts, teaching at the university level, while experimenting with and creating glass artwork . In the 1990’s he became interested in developing a range of limited edition hand blown vessels focusing on function, simplicity and beauty. He formed CB Glass to separate this work from his one-of-a-kind pieces. This challenged him to apply his skills as both a craftsman and a designer to produce glass vessels that are affordable while still being beautiful and unique objects.
Some of his vessels use opalescent glass, often with flakes of color like confetti falling through the air. He was fascinated by the challenge of working with opal glass and still maintaining a light and airy quality. Throughout his career, Brock has had many solo exhibitions and won numerous prizes. His glass pieces can be seen in over 25 fine museums across the U.S., Japan and Europe.
