Bio

The one-of-a-kind pieces created by Gelfand celebrate the beauty and functionality of glass art.

Gelfand takes a precise, personal approach to his work, and has focused for several years on a uniquely Minimalist style. Each piece produced at Revolution captures the intrinsic properties of glass: light, form, fluidity and color.

Prior to opening Revolution Glass Studio in 2002, Gelfand trained in glassblowing at San Francisco State University, Pilchuck Glass School and Penland School of Crafts. He has been the recipient of several scholarships in glassblowing and in Summer 2001 apprenticed with artist Italo Scanga. His work is exhibited at galleries throughout the United States.

Gelfand is personally dedicated to teaching the art of glassblowing, and was a popular teacher during his three years at Public Glass in San Francisco. He continues this tradition by offering group classes and private lessons in his own studio.
