A brand new shipment of rainbow-colored champagne flutes, wine glasses and sherbet bowls/old fashioned glasses just arrived from the Tennessee foothills glass studio of Prentice Hicks.
He works with heat, centrifugal force and gravity to achieve the desired results. He keeps his pieces loose and fluid, characteristics Prentice believes reflect the properties of glass itself. He describes the resulting stemware as "easy to hold, attractive to use and friendly to the touch."
The rural setting of Prentice's family dwelling and glass studio in the former Wauhatchie tribe area with a stream flowing through the nearby cove, creates an ideal atmosphere for quiet concentration and work. Prentice prefers to work alone and uses no tools when forming the cup of his stemware.
