Zachary Jorgenson

Zachary Jorgenson is an American glass artist working primarily in the lampworked murrine discipline. He creates images at the torch, building one component at a time, stretching them down to size, and melting them all together to create a larger image. These murrine can take from days to months to complete depending on their complexity. Jorgenson is among a small handful of people currently working in this highly specialized glassworking technique. He often uses the murrine he creates to make fine art marbles.
