3- Erica Unterman
Glass Artist Name: Aubergine Glass & Jewelry

Glass beckons me with its candy-colored hues and transparency. No other media captures light quite like glass. I have been working with glass sporadically for nearly 20 years. Many creative avenues call my attention, but glass overrides my aesthetic. My husband inspired my interest in the medium when we were in college and I ventured into fusing and stained glass to compliment his hot glass work. I established Aubergine Glass & Jewelry in 2022 to market our talents as a pop-up small business based in the Finger Lakes.

Awards/Recognition- Visiting lecturer in ceramics at Corning Community College What is unique about your glass art or your profession: I am intuitive in my art career and follow my interests like the flutter of hummingbird wings. Stained glass and hot glass designs are my product base, but I also love to play with clay. I create natural products for the body and home. You can even find me teaching yoga in the region or designing natural landscape installations. I am UnterWoman, opposed to labels or titles that create boundaries
4-Joe Rotsell
Joe Rotsell -
A Corning area native. interested in art from an early age, everything from drawing, painting and anything in between.
Joe had been a chef in the region for 40+ years incorporating his artwork into the culinary field with garnishing and ice sculpting. While working in culinary for a local corporation and catering at the Corning Museum of Glass, he saw the flame workers and immediately knew he had to get his hand into that medium! That happened in the mid-1990s and he has been doing it ever since. sculpting everything from wildlife to flowers to jewelry, reusable glass straws and memorial glass.

I chose glass for the seemingly endless possibilities with the amorphous material. I started working with the medium at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY in 1999 during a two week internship.

When it comes to functional, handmade glass and the craftsmanship involved in its creation, there is something special about using handmade objects in your daily routine. It always feels better to me than a machine-made, mass-produced item. When it comes to artistic, sculptural glass making, the wonders of glass lie within the material’s ability to take on any form you can imagine. I enjoy the challenge of utilizing glass for both its functional and artistic potential. I find fulfillment in sharing my creations with the world.

Why did you choose Glass? How did you get started?:
Glass came into my life in college and was love at first sight. I choose to work with glass because it never seems to stop challenging me to push myself. After 16 years I am still mesmerized by the process.

As an Italian American, I strive to create works that hold the unique traditional techniques that hail from the Island of Murano, Italy with a modern minimalist approach to design and color. My forms are simple to capture the viewer's eye on line pattern, color and texture.
