EUGENE GLASS SCHOOL ARTIST
Bob Snodgrass
began lampworking in 1971 working clear borosilicate doing prep work for Chuck
Murphy, owner of New Phoenix Glass of Akron, Ohio. In 1972, he encouraged Chuck
to blend micro-fine copper with clear glass and discovered copper red and copper
green. In 1978, Bob studied solid sculpture and lacework under Bill Burns of
Missouri. In 1981, Bob developed whole-metal vaporization of silver and gold
"fuming", a much cleaner and more controllable process of lending
color to glass than the then-existing "secret". In 1990, Bob and his
family settled in Eugene, Oregon. Bob is currently a regular instructor at the
Eugene Glass School, a member of the Eugene chapter of the Oregon Glass Guild,
and a health and safety trained member of the American Scientific Glassblower
Society.
