Josh creates Blue New Mexico glass by painting with molten metallic silver, quite literally using it as a brush on a chemically receptive gather of liquid glass.
As the form is shaped, he precisely controls the balance of oxygen and propane, first with a torch and later, in the furnace. This careful choreography of chemistry and heat reveals the depth, richness, and complex patterning of Josh's signature New Mexico Glass. When the same process is applied to other base colors, the results are Red, Translucent, or Desert New Mexico glass, each with its own character and atmosphere. Josh uses these variations to create a wide range of vibrant, expressive vessels.
