Item Description
It measures just shy of 6.5" long by 2.5" wide. It can be suspended from a loop integrated in the tip.
Ira Lujan is an artist with the Glass Aliance New Mexico and one of the few Native American artists working with glass arts today. He uses his native home of Taos Pueblo as the main inspiration for his pieces. He began re-creating everyday objects that Taos pueblo people have traditionally used, such as water jugs, baskets, or canteens into works of flass art.
"Taos has provided me with culture and an artistic environment which has expanded my endeavors and has kept me in a continuous creative pool."
He is a graduate of the Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle and has since formed a distinct style of glass making.
"Only this sort of expression is possible through glass and the way I see it, the possibilities are infinite. Like clay, it is an art form that combines all the four elements of fire, water, wind and earth. This seems so elementary, but in actuality is a pretty complex choreography which becomes a fascinating art form. Glass blowing has been around for thousands of years, and is now becoming one of the most popular and sought after art forms.”
