Engineering a One-of-a-Kind Technique for Weaving Glass

Mark Lewanski was a kindergartener when his passion for art was first ignited. Before his teacher had the chance to introduce students to shapes, Mark had mastered spheres, cubes and pyramids. He became fascinated with these three dimensional shapes, and spent hours drawing and shading them in. As Mark got older, his interest in the arts continued to soar. He’d pick up books and study the greats, including Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. There was no question he dreamed of being an artist –– it was all he wanted to do. After taking art courses throughout high school and college, Mark earned a degree in material science and metallurgy, not realizing his newfound engineering expertise would directly impact his work as an artist later in life. “Back in 2000 I was so dissatisfied working for other people’s projects that I quit my job and decided to do art,” Mark says. “I traveled around Europe for seven months and came back and got into glass because my wife’s family business was a glass factory.” Watch the video to see more of Mark's story, then visit www.celebrateart.com to see more stories from artists.
