Hello and Welcome!
My name is John Fykse. I have many interests and glassblowing happens to be one of them. I have been working with glass since 2007.
I was lucky to be raised in the southern portion of New Jersey (South Jersey) where I not only developed a love for excellent pizza and cheesesteaks, but also a deep interest in glass.
I obtained a degree in Scientific Glass Technology from Salem Community College in 2009. Through that program, I was able to learn detailed techniques in apparatus fabrication and artistic principles from some highly skilled teachers and fellow students.
I worked professionally as a Scientific Glassblower for over 7 years and I currently am a member of the American Scientific Glassblower Society. I have met, worked with, and learned from many interesting and truly talented people in the glass community.
I currently live in the southwestern corner of Michigan near the coast of Lake Michigan.
Thank you for visiting my site and I hope you enjoy some of the handmade artwork I have produced!
