About the Artist

Kurt McVay has been a professional glass artist since 1985. He is best known for his fused and kiln formed dinnerware and decorative platters. He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and received his glass education from Central Washington University.
McVay is a very unassuming artist who lets his creativity speak for him. His technical glass making skills include glass blowing, kiln forming, etching, leaded windows and murals.

He has completed two commissioned architectural projects in Honolulu, Hawaii at The McLim Building and the well known David Paul’s Diamond Head Grill Restaurant. He has also completed numerous corporate awards projects.
Some of the world’s best restaurants are using his work for food presentations. Particularly well known is his quality craftsmanship and design aesthetics.

Glass fusing is one of the oldest forms of glass making predating Roman glass blowers by 3,000 years. It involves slow, intricate cutting, layering and careful melting of glass colors. This method allows for a wide range of design possibilities that are not available using the glass blowing technique. Fusing requires a high-level of detail – any mistake can severely damage the design.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“I enjoy making things. I believe artistic objects for humbled everyday activities greatly enhance our daily lives. These objects can reflect spiritual or aesthetic feelings and have a humanizing influence if the artist’s decisions are made thoughtfully. I am grateful to those who have taught this to me”.
