Shane Fero is a mystical man of fire! 

His highly evolved blown glass forms have delighted and inspired viewers and collectors for over three decades.  He creates his art by manipulating molten glass rods and tubes at the torch.  Shane's sophisticated color palette is created by rolling the molten mass in subsequent layers of powdered glass.  His themes exemplify his personal interest in mythology, philosophy and nature.

Fire in Flight begins with an insightful introduction by Paul Stankard.  You'll discover what Shane cares about, see how he works, learn a bit about his history, and the influences that inspire him.

This DVD focuses on the creation of a somewhat surrealistic finch, and allows you to observe first-hand just how it's done.  He begins with soft neon tubing at a cross-fire, and proceeds to transform it into a thing of beauty by applying multiple layers of assorted powders to define the basic bird.  Then, a series of contrasting lines and dots are applied to determine the finch's fine markings.  Shane's birds are legend, cherished by collectors world-wide!

Produced by award-winning videographer Marcie Davis, you'll appreciate the thoughtful presentation of the material, and it's upbeat musical score. (Approximate run time 30 minutes)
