Bring the Heat | Breakdown with Helen Tegeler

Watch Helen breakdown the process of the piece she made during her Bring the Heat Demonstration.

This series, Bring the Heat, shines a spotlight on the expert glassmakers from our Hot Glass Team, showcasing their creativity and expertise. Hot Glass Team artists will bring to life one of their personal designs.

From growth patterns, developmental structures, and surface textures, Helen Tegeler feels there are infinite design possibilities when interpreting nature in glass. She loves exploring seeds in particular and the potential they hold for great change, searching for meaning in their transformation and making connections to the way we grow and set roots in our own lives. “With time, seeds transition from deceivingly simple forms to more sophisticated and complex organisms,” said Tegeler. “It is not my intent to copy nature, but rather pay homage to the unique and beautiful qualities of life.” She enjoys working with glass and mixed media together to explore the various transitions possible in both form and material.
