About this listen
In this episode, I talk with Detroit-based glass artist Marc VandenBerg, whose journey with glass began humbly—with a couple of library books and a torch.
Starting out with borosilicate and focusing on pipe-making, Marc’s path shifted dramatically when he landed a job working with soft glass from a furnace. That experience forever changed his creative trajectory.
Marc shares stories from his time working in a variety of studios over the years, including the impact of collaborative hot shop environments and how those experiences shaped his evolving style.
Today, he works primarily with COE 96, combining furnace and flame working techniques to create a distinctive body of work that reflects both technical skill and artistic vision.
As his story comes full circle, Marc has returned to mostly working solo—bringing a lifetime of lessons and influences into each unique piece.
