Crafts in North Carolina to train under Katherine Gray.

known for their rich traditions in hand blown glass art. Through an
apprenticeship with master glassblower Igor Muller, Christopher gained even more
knowledge of the fine techniques and designs that continue to inspire his career
as a glass artist. His many invaluable experTiences soon earned the recognition
