Aaron Duccini, Gaffer

Aaron Duccini, owner, artist began his glass making career working with borosilicate glass  lampworking in 1998, and has developed his skills through patient repetition and a respect for glass. He has taken lampworking classes from Roger Parramore, Sue Ellen Fowler, George O'Grady, and David Willis. In 2002 he took place in Sonja Blomdahl's class at the Pilchuck Glass School, which sparked his interest in furnace glass. He has since participated in classes from Masters Fritz Dreisbach, Frantisek Janak, Rik Allen, and Shelly Muzylowski, Jimmy Alderegg, and Micke Johannson. Aaron has merged his knowledge and skills of his lampworking techniques for use with furnace hot glass skills in creating original works in both blown and sculpted hot glass.
