Window Paper Weights
Window Paper Weights:
This series of pieces by glass artist Tom Fuhrman were my absolute favorite to photograph. This particular style is one of several in Fuhrman’s paper weights. When I first saw them I thought they were hollow and then saw it was solid glass. Fuhrman once told me these were a metaphor for getting past the frosted exterior, reflections and outer shell of a person for their true inner beauty.
These are anywhere between 1 and a half to 2 square inches. Each piece is signed by the artist. They are amazing lit from underneath. The desk set of three makes a great gift and invites those who observe and handle them to look inward.
About the artist – Tom Fuhrman
Fuhrman Glass Studios is located in the beautiful hills of Cannon County in Tennessee. Fuhrman Glass Studios is owned and operated by glass artist Tom Fuhrman. He’s been working in glass since 1974. Prior to 1999 he was operating a hot glass studio part-time in northeastern Indiana.
At the age of 50, Fuhrman and his wife moved to Woodbury, TN after reading about it in John Villani’s 100 Best Art Towns of America. Tom decided to pursue his life passion after he and his wife saw an episode of Oprah about people in their retirement doing the exact same thing.
I got a chance to meet Fuhrman at his Short Mountain Studios a few times and watch him create these beautiful works of art. Tom is in the process of moving his studios to Oak Ridge. Once he’s settled in, I’ll pay him a visit and post more in my discovery journal.
