George Ponzini Art Glass
George Ponzini creates glass perfume bottles, stemware, candlesticks, shelves, mirrors, and sculptures that are engaging and elegant. He captures the feeling of art deco with stunning composites of blown and constructed glass elements. Mr. Ponzini was introduced to glass while studying at Franklin Pierce College in 1974. Soon he was concentrating on glass and furniture at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. He has studied glass at Pilchuck Glass School and Penland School, and also served on the faculty of the Sharon Arts Center in New Hampshire.
He has been honored as a Fellowship Recipient from the Vermont Council of the Arts and the Grodin Award for Excellence in Design and Craftsmanship. The works of George Ponzini have been featured in many notable exhibits including Vassar College, Nicolaysen Art Museum in Wyoming, the Renwick Gallery in Washington D.C., Glasmuseum Ebeltoft in Denmark and the International Exhibition of Glass Craft in Kanazawa, Japan.
