Tracy Glover's work is referred to as "Translucent Poetry"
Fiore Interiors is now carrying this phenomenal line!
"Tracy was an architecture student at Virginia Tech when first mesmerized by a glassblower's photo in a RISD catalogue. Soon she had applied for a transfer and moved to Providence for the glass BFA that would change her life. She has honed her craft in such diverse locales as a 13th century Belgian convent's crystal factory and Dale Chihuly's renowned Pilchuck School of Glass, where she was mentored by Venetian maestri-in-residence.
The furnace burns 24 hours a day with molten glass at the ready. Colored rods, varying in thickness, are cut, fused, rolled and mouthblown in a dance of heat, urgency and vision. Every piece is made to order; Tracy is the sole designer. She and her assistants blow the glass onsite before assembling the components into finished commissioned pieces."
Here is a small sampling of her work. The full catalog and pricing is available through
Fiore Interiors.
Chandeliers, sconces, and lamps! (oh my)
Did I mention hardware-both furniture, cabinet, and drapery? Beautiful!
