Currently based out of
Asheville, North Carolina, Vaughan Anderson has been
blowing glass full-time for over 12 years. He has
drawn inspiration from all things land, sea and sky.
Couple this with his love for celestial infinity and
you find the building blocks for the form and
structure that define his work today. Vaughan’s medium
is borosilicate glass commonly known as Pyrex glass or
hard glass. This torch fired material is very
resistant to scratching, scuffing, or breaking; it
therefore lends itself well to durable and usable art.
His intricate and unique designs are the result of
years of experience and creative forethought. In his
current works, his love, and inspirations are brought
to the front in his series showcasing the elements.
Seamlessly transitioning from deep within the ocean,
to the far reaches of the universe, he “Wants to
provoke thought, provide inspiration, and a doorway
into the imagination of the viewer,” thus allowing
them their own experience with each piece that he
creates. Vaughan has shown his art at numerous music
events, art shows, and bead shows from coast to coast
throughout the years. Recent accolades include: 1st
prize at the Art & Soul of South End; Avenue of
the Arts, and making the cover of the Daily Planet. He
is currently awaiting three episodes, scheduled to air
October ‘09 on HGTV’s Smart Fix with Kristin Well,
showcasing his cabinet knobs, custom curtain finials,
and stemware. A proud father, he knows inspiration can
be found in the smallest of places, and uses this
daily in his work. “There is always opportunity for
infinite creation if we seek to evolve with that,
which is unknown”.
