Aron Leaman
Aron Leaman’s playful glass sculptures often have abstracted natural forms, vivid colors, a sophisticated interplay of opacity and translucence, and a signature style of looping and scalloped markings which add texture. He presents his sculptures on custom steel stands and fills closed vessels with inert gas to prevent condensation.
Leaman owns and operates Mill City Glassworks in Lowell MA, where he teaches and makes functional and decorative art glass on commission and for galleries and collectors. He began working with glass in 2001 and has spent years traveling to work with other glass artists around the world.
Leaman’s instagram feed and a photo essay by Adien Bisson show him at work and illuminate steps in his glass-making process.
