About Rachel Escoe Glass
BIO
Hot glass has been a part of my life for 17 years and going strong. I grew up in Portland, Oregon and moved to Calgary to attend art college. Where I received a BFA in Glass. I currently reside back in my hometown of Portland, Oregon where I run Rachel Escoe Glass LLC and Glass Current Mobile Studio.
My ever evolving line of artwork is made out of my mobile studio and other public access studios in the area. Taking the mobile shop to various events around the Oregon, Washington area allows me to showcase glassblowing to the public and getting people involved in hot glass.
Artist Statement
The backbone of my work involves the challenges and processes behind the material of hot glass. Glass starting out as something that is fluid and transforming into a semi-solid substance is what keeps me confident in my art as well as in daily life. Challenge, Process and Therapy are the 3 words that come to mind when I’m making my artwork and teaching workshops.
My line of work has this symbiotic relationship between literal pictorial landscapes of the world around me and the emotional renewal that occurs for me when I’m experiencing certain times of the day. The ending of the day and beginning of night, which can be called twilight, is a moment of quietness for me. A time for awareness, reflection and calm.
