Artist Statement

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT TO HIGHLAND FEST THIS YEAR! IT WAS A GREAT SHOW!

UPCOMING SHOWS AND EVENTS ARE BELOW OUR OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Gloss studio, featuring art glass, unique glass night-lights (a favorite) and unique silver/glass jewelry items. Gloss studio is located in Arden Hills, Minnesota, just outside St. Paul. It's pretty cold here half the year, but between the torch and kiln, things at Gloss couldn't be hotter.

With the exception of several higher demand Gloss jewelry items, each handmade glass, silver and mixed media piece is one of a kind. Though we do not duplicate any of our pieces, if you're looking for something similar to work we've produced in the past, we do take special requests and orders. Our only caveat is that since each piece is handmade and produced individually, special orders will vary slightly in shape and color.

Please enjoy our on-line gallery. If you saw something at a show and would like to purchase it, or inquire about it, but don't see it here, let us know. We do take phone orders as well, and will safely package up pieces and ship them to you. And if you're in the Twin Cities, we've been known to drop off pieces at our customer's homes and offices on request.

Thanks for stopping by and please join us at one of our upcoming shows.

ARTIST'S BACKGROUND

Greg Wagner's background is in Physics and Astrophysics, which greatly contributes to his knowledge and interest in the technical aspects of kiln and glasswork. Greg collected art glass for years before being bitten by the "I can do that" bug and starting out on his own. Though Greg currently works as the CTO of a small technology company, you're likely to find him either reading, or in the studio, during his off time.

Elijah is the genius offspring of Gloss Studio artist Greg Wagner. Left to his own devices, Elijah manages to create artwork that both outsells and outshines the best Gloss has to offer (well . . . we are entitled to our opinions - after all we're the artists). Elijah can be found selling his wares and helping out in the booth during most exhibits.
