The Ferrari of Glass Is Right Here On&#######xA0. Installation and Ferrari trophies on display at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Dale Chihuly is one of the world's greatest glass makers alive!

&#######xA0;&#######xA0; Here&#######xA0;are some projects I created that were inspired by him.. One of my favorite&#######xA0; applications of color use in the blowing process is working with glass canes. All these bowls are&#######xA0;made with the techniques of pulling and fusing glass canes to create the&#######xA0;patterns.

Here&#######xA0;are some pictures of my Mom and I pulling some canes. I&#######xA0; really love this process... &#######xA0; it's exciting stretching molten glass across&#######xA0;the driveway. It is really important that the glass be at just the right temperature, because if the glass is too hot, &#######xA0;it&#######xA0;falls to the ground and if its not hot enough it won't pull. Depending on the type of canes we pull, sometimes we pull them over 100 feet!

&#######xA0; &#######xA0;&#######xA0; Darren Goodman &#######xA0;was born in 1981 in Maineville, &#######xA0;Ohio. &#######xA0;He was first introduced to the glass blowing process at college.

&#######xA0; A graduate of &#######xA0;Bowling Green State University, Goodman apprenticed under glass master Leon Applebaum in Corning, New York. He has also studied with studio glass legends Dante Marioni, Lino Tagliapietra and Davide Salvadore. &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0;&#######xA0;&#######xA0;&#######xA0; In 2005 the young artist established his own glass studio in Waynesville, Ohio. Two years later Ferrari North America commissioned him to create trophies for the International Challenge Races. &#######xA0;A teacher as well as an artist, Goodman has coordinated classes for students at elementary and high school levels. His work has been exhibited and shared with audiences throughout the World.

Goodman employs a hands-on approach and shares the tenets of the studio glass movement. He is concerned with the distinct properties of the material and embraces both the practice&#####x2019;s tradition and experimentation. Through his work he explores the textures, scale, and the implied functionality of each piece. He also emphasizes the collaborative and performance aspects of glassmaking, which is in keeping with the movement&#####x2019;s emphasis on process. &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0;&#######xA0;&#######xA0;&#######xA0; Most recently&#######xA0;his "Glass Experience", a performance which combines both his musical and glassblowing creations&#######xA0;into a&#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0; interactive production, is being&#######xA0;shared with people around the world.

Through the common theme of team-work through glassblowing, Goodman translates into our everyday life, the unlimited potential of working together. &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0; &#######xA0;&#######xA0;&#######xA0;&#######xA0; At an early age Goodman is showing many signs of having a prosperous and glowing career ahead of him.

He specializes in installations, vases, bowls, and and is available for custom projects and commissions.
