How does an Industrial engineer come to be an accomplished artist? Rollin Karg, engineer turned photographer turned potter turned woodworker turned glassblower, has turned one of his one-time hobbies into a full-time career. He attributes his artistic inclination in part to a strong desire to work with his hands, coupled with the inspiring park-like location of his studio. The tree-studded setting is an ironic oasis in Kechi, Kansas. This is where Rollin creates his one-of-a-kind treasures.
Standing under his spectacular awning and facing the furnace he built, Rollin concentrates on working the hot glass. Skillfully he turns a flowing globe, adding intricate, colorful designs to the crystal-clear mass. The fiery furnace and forces of gravity heighten the artist's exhilaration at bringing dramatic form to the soft, hot glass.
Rollin studied hot glass at Emporia State University. His birthplace was Columbus, Ohio, but he was raised in Miami, Florida. He currently resides in Kechi, Kansas
