Artists & DesignersGartner/Blade Hot Sculpted, Sand Etched and Faceted Glass by Danielle Blade and Stephen Gartner. Business partners since 1995, Danielle Blade and Stephen Gartner combine their individual ideas, techniques, and experiences to create original works in handblown and sculpted glass. Over the past decade they have been developing a series of pieces that explores their interpretation of objects of ritual and worship. The inspiration for these pieces is rooted in nature and begins with their mutual fascination with the use of found objects in the rituals of primitive cultures. In these pieces they hope to convey a reverence for and an understanding of the value of our natural resources. Natural elements such as bone, antlers, wood, vines, fossils and rock formations have inspired their signature designs which include covered vessels and sculptural objects. Their work combines traditional hand blown techniques with innovative color application and original sculpting techniques. Prior to opening their own studio both Stephen and Danielle studied with prominent American and European glass artists. Both worked as glasshouse gaffers and glassblowing instructors. Danielle Blade, born 1967 on the Isle of Wight, England. Daughter of British glass artist Martin Evans, Danielle moved to the United States in 1985. Danielle resides in the village of Ashley Falls, MA. Stephen Gartner, born 1964 in Phoenix, AZ, grew up in the southern United States and Europe. Stephen also resides in Ashley Falls, MA.
