Art Glass Platters by Dennis Mullen

“Welcome! Join me in celebrating 27 years of glass blowing experience. I've had the good fortune to travel other countries and work alongside world class glass artists.

It is a tale of discovery and exhilharation which left me asking, “How can I make a contribution in the art glass world? How can my art be different?” The answer: to create a mixture of form, texture and style, with color combinations that enhance any atmosphere, delight the eye and bring joy to the spirit.

It is essential for me to personally create each piece of glass art, thus infusing part of myself.”
