Minute With Morgan

Author: Ninja "The Bong Collector"

The recent explosion of interest in Glassblowing has brought a wealth of new talented artists to the scene. One of this new generation’s young rising stars is Morgan.

 

Morgan works out of the Honalee glass studio in Reno, Nevada and has begun building quite the reputation among collectors.

 

I was lucky enough to catch Morgan on the phone and get a little back ground for all his fans.

 

Actually, I think I roused him from his rest in the wee hours of the morning.

 

Though awakened by a madman asking questions, Morgan was very personable and happy to answer a few questions.

 

At 23 years old, Morgan is young and passionate about his art, and has a life time ahead of him.

 

His talent is quite amazing for someone with only 3 ½ years of torch experience.


 

His Journey began with a 3 day workshop by glass artist Jason Lennon, where Morgan learned the basics of inside out and wrap and rake techniques, as well as how to make a spoon and smaller pieces.

 

He took this knowledge and built on it, and later took a workshop from well known heady master Banjo along with Lennon and Tormino.

 

From this Morgan has built a style of his own, paying homage to the influences of his work as well as showing his own interpretation of various techniques.

 

Morgan’s heady tubes are distributed through Honalee glass studio, and one was reviewed in last months Glass Aficionado magazine.

 

“I owe a lot to Scott from Honalee glass. His support has really helped me a lot”

Says Morgan.

 

Morgan’s work is tight and clean, and every piece looks more impressively built than the last

 

“Where do you see your work going in the future? I asked.

 

“The sky is the limit” says Morgan…And we believe him.
