Shinobi Glass: UMBSSTADDER!

Wait, who?!?

Umbsstadder?!?

Umbsstadder has joined us on the site at SHINOBI GLASS, and we are real happy to be able to showcase the wares of yet another young local glassblower! He came out to Berkeley at the end of last spring, working for a while alongside others such as Sherpa, Koji, and Je$ter, and now happily torches with some of his old comrades at the new Blue Sun Studios in Oakland. One thing I definitely remember about watching him work in Berkeley was his dedication and passion for flameworking; he was (and is!) always quietly and diligently putting his all into his work! And it has paid off in spades, as he is currently pulling all his own color tubing for his projects, as well as making his own millis - with less than a year behind the torch!!! A lot of Je$ter's work displayed at AGE, and his current production as well, is made from Umbsstadder's own hand-pulled tubing! We have just two slides up by him now, but plan on adding more soon! All work on them were done by him, as I said before, and it will be exciting to see what else he comes up with as his skills continue to improve!
