Ron Seivertson Ron Seivertson 1961, Sacramento, California USA] is a hot glass artist who lives on the edge with an intense devotion to his craft. Creating masterpieces from the point of view that everything is possible and to do what seems can not be done. "Hot glass artist Ron Seivertson creates light filled forms of blown and sculpted hot glass, extra ordinary in their expression and textural luminosity" Trisha Sertori, Jakarta Post "He is clearly on the leading edge of glass blowing. His tonally rich and diverse blown art, conjures great thinking with simple pleasing forms. But Seivertson likes to break rules and molds. He investigates the far reaches of what blown glass should be and yet delivers stunningly beautiful, luminous and entertaining art." Carolyn M. Scott, Executive Director Turtle Island Films, Santa Rosa, California USA Before realizing he was destined for something else Ron spent more then 20 years in carpentry and fine home building as a general contractor. At the age of 37 he reawakened the child artist in him (or visa-versa) with oil painting and sculpting long before finding hot glass as his ultimate medium in 2003. From that moment of discovery, Ron took to glassblowing and sculpting quickly and naturally. He first studied intensely in Seattle Washington USA and Melbourne Australia. He has attained his most masterful lessons at The Pilchuck Glass School. Being a glassblower is based in his DNA, so to speak, as he found out during his first years that his great grandfather was a glassblower from Norway and that persons with his surname have been working with Hot Glass in Scandinavia and Northern Europe for more than 200 years. The Alchemy and fluidity of the Hot Glass process are the big drive and given the rigors of this art form, allowing magic and passion's tenacity. Ron's Horizon Glassworks Studio in Bali Indonesia is his arena of pursuing the creation of master pieces and the unprecedented. In his first 5 years of practice Ron Seivertson became renowned to the glass community and has been steadily emerging more and more, all over the world. He has a strong reputation and is widely regarded for producing stunning glass art works that are unique in their style, expressions and form.
