Filip Vogelpohl
Filip Vogelpohl, the owner of Boise Art Glass, was born in Prague, Czech Republic. He discovered glassblowing in Oregon in the late 1990s and was immediately captivated by the art form. Driven by his passion, he fully immersed himself in the craft, apprenticing under renowned artists such as Cesare Toffolo from Murano, Italy, as well as Roger Paramore, Kevin O’Grady, Robert Mickelson, and Milon Townsend.
“Drawing on the ancient art of glassmaking, I strive to translate the beauty and complexity of the natural world into intricate, one-of-a-kind pieces. Inspired by the interplay of light and color, I use my imagination and meticulous craftsmanship to create glass sculptures that capture the essence of the world around us. My work is distinguished by its unique nuances and distinctive shapes, each one exclusively made by me. Through my art, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world, and to inspire collectors to connect with the beauty and richness of the world we inhabit.”
