The inspiration for Jonathan Capp’s art comes from the experiences that shape his life. Whether hiking the Appalachian Trail, coaching Little League Baseball, becoming an archaeological illustrator halfway around the world, or competing on Blown Away, he channels those experiences into ideas and fully embraces life as a part of his art.

Most recently, Capps competed in Season 4 of the hit Netflix series Blown Away. On Saturday, May 18 at the Glass Art Society convention in Berlin, Germany, Capps will demonstrate at Berlin Glassworks from 10 a.m. to 12 – an opportunity he won on the show. From June 10 – 14, he will teach a summer intensive at the Pittsburgh Glass Center, Lifting the Veil, and present a free lecture on June 11. He will also be the featured guest artist for this year’s Gay Fad Studio’s Festival hosted at the Ohio Glass Museum.

The intersection of glass color and texture explored in this piece, by James Devereux, makes us question...IS IT GLASS?! It's incredible to see the mind-bending illusions of how glass color in certain formats can make you question the material itself...

With glass as her medium and lost wax casting as her primary technique, Anja Isphording creates idiosyncratic sculptures familiar enough for us to recognize that they are inspired by nature, yet rarely resembling anything that we have actually encountered. Her intimate-scale objects, tactile and rich with deeply saturated colors, are reminiscent of basic molecular structures, honeycombs or coral reefs, but their biological reference remains ambiguous.

Friday, August 18 – September 1, 2023, Heller Gallery in NYC will present Isphording’s latest sculptures as part of their summer pop-up series titled Rotations.

Here are a few more angles of this new work titled 'Syringa Pneuma'.
I am super happy about how this piece turned out, every aspect of it - from the form, to the optics, to the colors. My friend turned me on to the color Purple Rose. It is exquisite. Here it is paired with, Sari Blue and Champagne. For anyone who has read this far… This piece was created with my good bud during our time in back in February. While en route to blowing glass in Florida we made the color cup for this piece at our good friends’ in Fort Worth, TX.
