Glass artist: Brook White

Brook White is a talented glass artist and the owner/operator of Flame Run, a contemporary glass art studio in Louisville, KY.   Brook considers the art of glass-blowing as a pure and simple magical experience. The physical aspect of working the glass and the fire captured his imagination from the very beginning. He realized soon after he began exploring the endless possibilities of glass art that he wanted to pursue this passion full-time.

Flame Run puts out a monthly eNewsletter that will be featuring short, informational articles about glass and working with glass, so make sure you sign up for this if you want to pursue glass work.
