As an experienced glass artist, Ted takes pride in details and client satisfaction. He chooses glass and colourings to make the art as true to life as possible. Most of his art is inspired by nature and many hours spent in the majestic mountains. He selects glass based on colouring and texture and has recently started to incorporate other elements of nature, such as wood and rock, to expand from purely flat glass to sculptures.

“I personally design all my pieces from the beginning with a design that fulfills my artistic expression and my clients’ preferences. After the design/draft is complete, I begin the glass selection process. With a mixture of stock glass and timeless handblown glass, the pieces of art have begun. I hand cut, foil, and solder each of my pieces. For a hanging piece, a wood frame is often added as a finishing touch. The wood used as bases on some of my sculptures is stained and varnished to give it a finished look. The combination of wood, rock, and glass has provided me with a fun medium to express my love of nature through art.” – artist Ted Schneider
