Thomas Maras began blowing glass over 20 years ago as a student at Minnesota State University, Moorhead. Characteristics of his work are clean form, line and color. His “Horizon” series is his iconic work and is often described as a lava lamp landscape, created by layering color and a stippling technique. The pieces have vivid color with significant movement.

Maras says of his work: “I shape glass, it shapes me”
