MILON
TOWNSEND
Artist Milon Townsend captures elegance, energy,
and expression in his figurative glass sculptures. Each piece is individually
created by the artist himself - no molds are used and thus each work is unique.
His imaginative approach to traditional glass objects such as goblets and
perfumes adds interest, prestige, and value.
Line, form, movement and color are the key
ingredients that combine to elucidate Townsend's distinctive style.
Townsend Associates is a team of
skilled artists working closely together, with guidance and direction from
founder Milon Townsend.
The team produces paperweights,
perfumes, goblets and ornaments of exceptional quality and detail using the
technique of flameworking. This process of heating rods, tubes, and sheets of
glass in a highly specific torch flame allows the artist to include an
extraordinary level of detail, drawing the eye of the viewer into the piece.
In order to be a member of the team, each person
must be able to execute their pieces as well as or better than Townsend himself.
Each artist is encouraged to develop their own series of pieces, leading
naturally to a collegiate level of give and take in which ideas are able to
flourish and grow. |
