Dobbie Wan Glass
My name is Alex Dobbie. I go by Dobbie Wan Glass. I currently live in Montana and have been blowing glass since 2016. I grew up in Oregon in the late 90’s early 2000’s and was fascinated by the emerging heady glass scene. When I finally got around to starting glass myself, I was fortunate to have a myriad of online resources to get a good knowledge base. I had no direct instruction for the first several years but lately I have been able to take some classes from experienced artists.
My focus has been primarily on function, with several innovative variations on the classic spoon pipe and dab straw. I’ve started to branch out into sculptural work, and more complex functional pieces. My wife Katherine, who was already a skilled artist in other mediums, has taken on engraving and we have embarked on a series of collaborative work.
I love the range of colors available in glass, and especially enjoy working with vibrant, contrasting elements in my art. Glass is an amazing material, from direct observation to its effect on the surrounding area when light is passing through it. I enjoy making things that evoke an emotional reaction before even being used, whether that is just an appreciation for the beauty of the glass, or a specific design meant to impress whoever holds it.
Outside of glass I enjoy learning about various fields of science and psychology, reading science fiction, spending time with my wife and our several cats, and occasionally writing my own science fiction stories.
