Blaker-DeSomma Glass
Paul DeSomma and his wife, Marsha Blaker, also internationally known for her glass and ceramic art, have a studio in Live Oak, CA. where they create both individually and collaboratively. Blaker and DeSomma work mainly with hot glass (hot, as in 2,150 degrees) and create pieces from both blown glass, which ends as a hollow piece, or solid works, which are large pieces of glass manipulated while molten.
Both Blaker and DeSomma have worked at the acclaimed Pilchuck Glass School outside of Seattle, and Blaker taught ceramics at Cabrillo College until recently.
