Epiphany Glass
In 1993 April Wagner and Jason Ruff began creating
work collaboratively as Epiphany. Their artistic
method of creating together speaks of a combined
aesthetic. The artists equally design, develop, and
create each piece signed under the epiphany name.
All aspects of the epiphany works are created solely
and entirely by April and Jason; no assistants or
studio apprentices are allowed to work on the
creations of glass works.
The process used by Epiphany is traditionally termed
fazzoletto, which means the glass is blown in free
form. This is an ancient technique developed and
mastered by Italian glass blowers over many hundreds
of years. The epiphany pieces are created
referencing the Italians, but adding a contemporary
twist that consists of complex color theory plus a
unique way of sculpting solid glass bits onto the
exterior of the pieces. No molds are used during the
creation of any piece. The artists and their medium
work together to create exquisite and natural forms
that reflect the true nature of glass as a molten
material. Thus these forms are reminiscent of the
familiar, yet not contrived.
