Paperweights
As a self-taught lampworker, Clinton Smith experimented with various lampworking techniques, finding the results beautiful, but quite fragile. He soon realized that he could take the fragile lampworked elements and encase them in glass, and he was hooked on the paperweight technique. Smith’s paperweights emerged half a dozen years later through trial, error, and perseverance.
Blown Work
In addition to lampworked paperweights, Clinton Smith offers blown vases with paperweight stems. Smith has been working in blown glass for more than 15 years.
