About
Paul Falworth
Paul blows glass with
the Bay Area Glass Institute
(BAGI) in San Jose, California. Audi's sculpture background
commenced with painted ceramic which quickly migrated to hot glass
sculptures in 1997. Paul's experience at BAGI has been
specifically with 'free-form' hot glass dichroic sculptures, multiple
gathers and large amounts of color.
Paul's
world backpacking, focusing on developing nations rich in culture,
has been ideal for the shapes, colors and feelings expressed in
his glass. Paul's travels have covered over sixty countries in Central
and South America, Africa, South East Asia, Australasia and Europe.
Paul
Falworth Studios is based in Silicon Valley, California.
