Dave & Bryan Lee are a father-and-son team who own the Hot Shop Valpo glassblowing studio in Valparaiso, Indiana. The two have worked together for years creating beautiful works of art—from individual vessels, paperweights, and marbles, and cremation ash memorial art to large architectural installations. Their work has found its way into collections across the country, from California to Key West, Florida. Permanent architectural installations reside in hospitals, municipal buildings, and universities across the Midwest. The duo has been juried into the prestigious Indiana Artisans. Both father and son are dynamic, yet patient instructors. “Glass is an adrenaline-charged medium. With glass, there is no time to delay; once you start something you have to finish it. Glass has a mind of its own with many factors working against the artist, such as gravity and temperature, but that is what makes it so exciting.”
