Welcome
Art Ciccotti, a native of southern California earned a Bachelor of Fine Art degree ( with an emphasis on teaching) from Iowa State University in 1987. During his years at ISU he began to learn the art of blowing glass. This beginning led him to a life long passion for this medium up to the present day. Upon graduating he taught in the public school system for ten years. He then switched careers to that of Scientific Glassblowing for five more years at the Chemistry Glass Shop at Iowa State University.
During this 15 year interim Art built 2 different studios where he now lives in Iowa. " Hot glass" has remained a passion up to the present. Now more than twenty years later he continues to pursue his study of glass as he draws from his experiences around him translating his perceptions into his glass pieces. His work is known across the Midwest. Art enjoys the glass making process as much as the finished pieces themselves. It is his hope that others will enjoy his work as well.
