I know that the weight from the additional glass bits on the side of the piece will stretch the form. But by using centrifugal force and holding the piece at the correct angle and speed, I can create a composition with the glass that allows both the glass and artist some influence on the final piece. " Mark Rosenbaum became the first recipient of a Master of Fine Arts in glassblowing from Tulane University, where after he opened the first privately-owned glassblowing studio in Louisiana, combining traditional glassblowing techniques to create classical shapes, iridescent colors and interior designs unique to the art of glass.
