artist info
William Ortman graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 2007 with a BFA in Glass Blowing. He currently lives and works in Columbus, Ohio, and is constantly exploring new techniques in glass.
"I have always been captivated by the way colors come to life on a glass surface. The ways in which color can be layered on glass give a unique three-dimensional quality to the otherworldly designs I create. Using traditional Italian techniques, I draw inspiration from Asian cultural art to find a style of my own. In this new body of work, I am particularly drawn to combining the structural symmetry of cane and Murine with organic textures and patterns within each piece.” -William Ortman
