Mike Shelbo
This week, MIKE SHELBO! Mike will be here from Wednesday for a whole week! He will be demonstrating and showing us his mad skills
Mike Shelbo is an emerging glass artist who has traveled the world to learn and demonstrate the amazing techniques of glassblowing. Born in Michigan and raised in California, and now currently living in north county of San Diego with his beloved wife and daughter and son. He specializes in jewelry, sculpture and delicate stemware to keep a focus on the beauty and refined detail of glass. Inspiration for his work comes from both the organic qualities of nature and the idea that an underlying world of fantasy binds us to reality. Ten years ago the glass captivated him as a new medium for expression of artistic ideas. Four years ago Shelbo was given the opportunity by the Glass Art Society to demonstrate a unique style of glass sculpting to Adelaide, Australia for their annual conference. Along with this rewarding experience Mike was also able to assist in teaching at the prestigious Penland School of Craft in North Carolina under maestro Bandhu Dunham.
