Kevin O’Grady

This is how Kevin starts each New Year. The trick is to pull the cane down without distortion. Each year has a new design and every bracelet is marked with it. Authenticating it as an original made exclusively by Mr. O’Grady.

“I am an independent glass artist who works borosilicate glass rods over an open flame, often called a lamp worker or a torch worker. Borosilicate is more commonly known as Pyrex and is a very strong and durable glass. The color palette commonly available in borosilicate is very limited and dull. I have perfected mixing techniques that enable me to create vivid and beautiful colors previously unknown in borosilicate glass. Many of my techniques are self-taught.

Each one of my pieces is a one of a kind, signed, hand worked original made solely by me using no apprentices. Primarily known for my glass bracelets, I also make beads, marbles, paperweights, small platters, vessels and sculptural pieces.

I am also well known for my detailed mastering of borosilicate murrine canes. Working glass in a flame is my passion. My inspiration for colors and designs come mostly from nature. Such things as feathers and water as well as flowers and galactic stars can be seen in my work.” ~ Kevin O’Grady

New Stackers!!

One is never enough! Fun to wear and beautiful to look at, Stackers are thin and lightweight and shimmer with color. Kevin designed these to be worn in multiples, but of course you can wear just one, but why? Like all of Kevin's work, each one is signed and dated with his exclusive signature murrini cane. The color choices are endless and being one of a kind pieces, are never exactly reproducible.

Many of Kevin’s bracelets, like the Oceanic Collection, his pendants and many of his orbs are created with a process known as Fuming. He creates colors within objects by using precious metals such as 24 karat gold and silver. It is a labor and time consuming process similar to steam rising out of boiling water and condensing on a relatively cooler plate held above. The ‘water’ is 24k gold or silver fumes which ‘condense’ on the art piece and is then covered in multiple layers of clear Borosilicate glass to produce an incredible finished piece.

No two are exactly duplicated.
