Started in 1974 by three young glassblowers seeking to support their art through industry, Bullseye Glass Co. stays on the crest of the glass arts by continually involving artists in exploration and new product development. While recreating many of the 19th century American opalescent glasses for stained glass workers, the company founders early on invited artists into the factory to explore less traditional glassforming methods. By 1980 this ongoing experimentation and artist/factory collaboration resulted in the world's first line of "Tested Compatible" glass designed specifically for fusing. Now Bullseye has developed a fully integrated system of glasses which cross the borders of individual disciplines. Fusing, blowing, torchwork, casting, and the foundation flat glasswork - all are linked by a testing method, a personal commitment to technical problem solving, and a network of artist relationships that keep the challenges coming and the work exciting. |
