Mullen
Dennis Mullen began his
lifelong passion for the art of glassmaking in 1979, with Robin Mix at
Turnbridge Glassworks. In 1984 he worked with Daryl Hinz and Anja Kjaer
in Copenhagen, and Bornholm Island in Denmark. Later he moved to Sweden
where he worked with former Kosta Boda Glassmasters and Designers,
Arthur Zirnsack and Hanna Dreutler.
More recently, he resides and works in
Seattle Washington, as manager/partner of Uptown Studio, where he
creates some of the most innovative and sumptuous art glass in the
country. He has found a unique style blending his Swedish/Danish
training with a bold American style. The result is a swirl of dense,
rich color on a classic Scandinavian influenced free flowing form. A
grouping of his 'wall' bowls can be described as glass fireworks.
Having developed a love for teaching the
art of glass blowing, he recently designed and developed a glass blowing
facility at Sammamish High School, in Bellevue, Washington. |
