Garrett Keisling has been working with glass since 2000 while living and working in the beautiful Northern Sierra Nevada. I have always found watching an artist working with glass fascinating, the transformation from sand to molten glass that has a disturbing resemblance to toffee is just amazing to me. Scent bottles like Garrett’s are a wonderful blend of practical and fantasy, which makes Garrett the perfectly balanced artist.
More of Garrett’s elaborate scent bottles can be found on Glass Artists.org
