Art Glass by Craig Zweifel

Craig Zweifel began working with glass under Dr. Robert Fritz at San Jose State College in 1966 and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Ceramics in 1969. That summer he built his first studio in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Returning to California in 1972, he studied at U.C.L.A. and received his Master of Arts degree in Glass Design. Since then he has lived in Ketchum, Idaho, where he has devoted himself to his craft, reflecting a creativity of the highest quality.

Each piece of Zweifel Art Glass is hand-blown by the artist, signed and dated on completion. No molds or machines are used in the creative process. The distinctive iridescent colors are the result of Zweifel's unique process, which fuses crystalline silver onto the surface of the molten glass. The satiny colors are caused by light reacting to the texture of microscopic silver crystals fused to the surface of his glass.
