"I was originally attracted to hot glass because of its liquid qualities and sense of immediacy. I have always tried to capture the elegance, fluidity, and whimsy which are inherent properties of glass. The approaches I use are eclectic and personal at the same time -- sort of a blend of Late Venetian and Early Neurotic."

Rob also plays guitar with several bands, including Hot Duck Soup and Bandana Klezmer.
