Daniel Gaumer

Daniel Gaumer was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania and studied at the Philadelphia College of Art. His glass has been featured in gallery exhibitions nationwide at places such as the Works Gallery in Philadelphia and del Mano Gallery in Los Angeles. He has also been affiliated with the American Craft Council.

Since 1994, Gaumer has been intrigued with the possibility of combining blown glass and pate de verre, a very different process in which crushed glass is packed into a refractory mold and melted at temperatures exceeding 1600 F.

In 1998 he began his latest work, the Core series. The uniqueness of his work is in the use of the pate de verre, which when applied during the blowing process, becomes an integral part of the piece. "I hope the techniques that have evolved will enable me to produce work that is exceptional and expresses my passion for the glass medium," says Gaumer. His Core series pieces are limited edition pieces; each is signed and coded with the order of completion.
