Twists Glass Studio ~
Michael J Hunter
Michael James Hunter earned his title of master
glass maker from a traditional style apprenticeship served at Wedgwood glass. He founded his own studio in 1998 with
his wife, Sue. He made national headlines when he designed and made candleholders in elegant filigree twists for the New York
store Asprey's in the first months of founding Twists Glass Studio. His principal influences include Venetian artists
such as Dino Martens, Seguso and Barovier and Toso. Michael's work incorporates complex cane work much of which has
been self taught by investigation, experimentation and error. He is proficient in the incalmo technique.
In our opinion
Michael is the finest exponent working in this country today in traditional millefiore, complex close packed clusters and
fine filigree twists. A true future investment for lovers of traditional disciplines.
