Glass FireWorker Aaron Slater discusses his art

In this video Glass FireWorker Aaron discusses his background and how he came to work with glass. Aaron will present a portifolio of his work at Dracut Arts Online Event, 1pm-2pm and 3pm-4pm on 20 March 2021. Aaron is a self-taught glass artist, he has been working glass since 2001.  Growing up Aaron spent much of his time in the woods of New Hampshire, an amateur naturalist of sorts, observing nature through his trusty magnifying glass and sometimes setting it on fire.  But, it was his first snorkeling trip to the reefs of Mexico that changed his appreciation for the natural world forever.  “Going from the woods of New England to the Tropical Coral Reef was like traveling to an inhabited alien planet.  It was so thrilling for me!” The love of nature and the love of fire continue to inspire Aaron as he creates his work by manipulating hot glass in the flame of a torch, a process called Flameworking.  He now lives and works in Lowell, Massachusetts, but he travels back to dive the reefs of Mexico every year. Aaron is a self taught glass artist who’s work has been featured in many shows and publications including: “Glass Art” by Barbara Purchia (Schiffer Publishing) “Good Things Small Packages” (Public Glass, L.H.
