"Moonlit Forest" by Mark Peiser, 1977

Summary

Mark Peiser graduated with a design degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1961, but after attending Penland School in North Carolina during the summer of 1967 he found his true passion--glass. Peiser experimented with new techniques to bring his ideas to life. Glass canes melted by flame were used to "draw" on molten glass to create this piece.
