Kit Karbler is a modern glass artist and the proprietor of Blake Street Glass Studio in Denver.
Karbler received a Bachelors degree in Fine Art from Ohio University and continued on his graduate studies in Glass and Design at UCLA.
His original designs are achieved by layering, threading, cutting and polishing hand-blown glass into prismatic forms.
Altering this perception of glass as a functional medium is a common theme.
His work is distinguished by thin, concentric lines of colored glass, in gem-like hues, which appear to be immobilized in clear crystal.
He begin each piece as a hand-blown form. After cooling and annealing a perfectly shaped vase, bowl or plate, its sides are cut away transforming the object into a purely sculptural form.
Facets are cut with a diamond saw, and then polished to reveal interior layers of color.
