During his 30 plus years in glassblowing, Tom has been inspired and influenced by many master artists including Lino Tagliapietra, and Fritz Dreisbach.  Tom spent 10 years further developing his aesthetic sensitivity and skillfull techniques under the tutelage of Thomas Buechner III before taking over Vitrix Hot Glass Studio.
