Master Glass Artist and Sculptor
Chris Nordin’s creative journey has been driven by one primary mission - to create artwork that affects people in a way they never would have experienced had their paths not crossed. Trained at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, Chris chose a different path from his family’s steel business to pursue metalworking – creating sculptures that incorporated a mix of materials, including glass, metal, stone and wood.
As an artist, Chris always wanted to be as technically accomplished as possible to create any art he imagined. To that end, he is a master glass artist and an accomplished blacksmith and fabricator. He trained in Venice, Italy, and with one of the world’s most renowned glass innovators, Lino Tagliapietra. His passion for continually refining his craft allows him to design a limitless range of artwork, from forged steel sculpture to the most delicate Venetian stemware.
