ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Stephen Gartner was born in 1964 in Phoenix, AZ. He grew up near Charleston, South Carolina, and also spent a few years living in Naples, Italy.

He began his glass making career as a lampworker (torch-work) in 1993, making animal figurines, paperweights and floral sculptures. He met Danielle in 1996 and a year later they opened their first glass shop in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and relocated to Ashley Falls, Massachusetts, in 2000.

Danielle Blade is originally from the Isle of Wight UK. Danielle is the daughter of British glass artist Martin Evans.

After an apprenticeship at Isle of Wight Glass, Danielle moved to the US in 1985. Prior to establishing GartnerBlade Glass, Danielle studied with prominent American and European glass artists and was employed as a glasshouse gaffer and a glassblowing instructor.
