Type of artwork – what medium, how is it classified? Handblown and cast glass, functional and sculptural. New: Garden Art
How long have you been an artist?
It’s a team: Robert Adamson, working in glass for 39+ years, (wife) Janis Swalwell, working in the business of glass design for 20+ years.
What is interesting and distinctive about you and your artwork? We make affordable, quality handblown giftware in a rainbow of colors – vases, bowls, paperweights, ornaments, and more. We also make custom lampshades for home and office in a wide range of shapes and designs. You can find handblown sinks at Island Art Glass. And new this year, art for the garden in glass.
Why do you create? What are you passionate about? Glass is a lifelong learning process – if you like working with a molten medium and lots of color, always refining your skills and experimenting with design, it’s a most rewarding medium.
What projects are you currently working on? Any upcoming shows? We have finished a productive first half of the year filling orders for lighting – now we are working on experimental casting and engraving projects. We are open every weekend throughout the year, folks can call or email ahead and we’ll let them know if we’re blowing glass so they can watch.
What will guests see you doing at your studio during the Whidbey Island Open Studio Tour (OST)? We will be making handblown glass objects in the studio.
