My name is Seth Parks. As a child I was very artistic, constantly drawing, designing things, and sculpting clay. I had a fascination with glass and how pieces were made but never understood how to do it or where to begin. After graduating high school in 2003, I found a local glassblower working in hot glass who gave lessons to beginners. After my first lesson, I was hooked. I immediately developed a great passion for glassblowing. There is just something about the way that glass moves when it is molten; the way you must move with the glass rather than move it really intrigues me. Wanting to learn more, I went on to study at some of the world's leading glass schools, including The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass, Penland School of Crafts, Snow Farm and Pilchuck Glass Schools. I have been taught by some of the world's greatest glassblowers including Sally Prach, Elio Quarisa, and Cesare Toffolo. I get much of my inspiration through nature and create forms such as flowers and animals. My pieces combining the delicate details of nature and the strength of borosilicate glass are functional works of art. Seth Parks 1162 Chestnut Ave. Manhattan Beach CA 90266 US Phone: 310 906 9323
