Last Friday I drove out to Prescient Studio at the Velvet Mill in Stonington Connecticut to interview Glass Artist Jeffrey P'an. I'm quickly becoming a big fan of glass art and getting a behind the scenes look at the process only served to heighten my interest and appreciation for the art form. In fact, I purchased a lovely wine goblet created by P'an in which to sip my Cabernet while writing the piece for INK Publications. I must say I think that the wine glass enhanced the whole wine drinking experience not to mention served as great inspiration while writing.
P'an follows neither the Venetian style or the Swedish style of glass blowing. 
Having studied in Venice Italy, he admits that the colored mosaics he uses are a hallmark of the Venetian tradition but instead he prefers to develop his own style, creating something more modern and contemporary. P'an's focus is on clarity and design.
I'm thrilled to be writing for INK Publications. Jeff Lilly, publisher of INK, sent the talented Caryn Davis out to photograph the story so I'm sure the piece will look fantastic in the upcoming edition. INK can be found in many art galleries, fine dining establishments and boutiques around Connecticut.
Prescient Studio is on 44 Meadow Ave in Stonington Connecticut.
