Nick Chase
View artist biography
Equipped with a wonderful imagination and exceptionally gifted in drawing, Nick Chase's first foray into 'art' came by way of animation. Fairly early into his studies Nick realized that he wanted to create something more tangible. In 2003 he enrolled in The Craft and Design program at Ontario's Sheridan College; Nick took a glass course, fell in love with the medium and as the saying goes, "the rest is history".
Following some successful exhibitions in 2006 and 2007 Nick has emerged as an up and coming glass artist and has garnered some loyal clients and the interest of several galleries nation-wide.
Nick Chase's current body of work is characterized by simple blown forms juxtaposed with intricate sandblasted details. Each piece is distinctive and is an exploration of the materials sensitivity to gravity versus the artists’ vision.
At present, Mr. Chase is working alongside veteran glass artist Jeff Goodman at the Jeff Goodman Studio in Toronto
