(501) 318-6193WHO ARE WE:
Riley Art Glass Studio is a partnership of two brothers, Charles and Michael. We have come together to focus our artistic talents on the art of glass blowing. After experiencing various art forms we have both found a passion for glass blowing to express our creativity.
Our inspiration comes from a combination of natural forms and emotion. Our art includes a wide range from classical style to abstract.
We work out of our own studio. Our primary outlets for sales are various art galleries across the United States and online.

WHAT WE DO:
We work with what is know as "Soft Glass." This means we use a furnace to heat up raw materials to 2200 degrees F which creates our own glass. From there we "gather" molten glass onto steel pipes or rods from which we can control the shape of the glass.
The possibilities are endless as far as form which is why glass continues to intrigue us. It is the only medium that is so fragile yet able to withstand the test of time better than any other. We hope that our work if nothing else will draw new appreciation for a worthy art medium.
TRAINING AND EDUCATION:
2001 - 2003 - ESKE Studios (Skot Richards) in Chico, California
2004 - Trained by master glass blowers Anthony Schaffermeyer and Claire Kelly at Penland in North Carolina.
2004 - 2005 - Fulltime assistant to master glass blower David Goldhagen in Hayesville, North Carolina
2006 - Opened Riley Art Glass Studio in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
