Ethan Stern is a Los Angeles based artist, designer, and educator whose work explores light and the relationship between surface and form through blown, cut, engraved, and sculpted glass. Grounded in labor and material practice, Stern’s work draws from influences including cut crystal, architecture, the natural environment, and traditions in glass and ceramics. Combining blown glass with intensive cold working processes, he creates sculptural objects that emphasize surface, texture, and pattern.Stern lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Recent exhibitions include The Optics of Now: SoCal Glass at the Palos Verdes Art Center and Reality and Illusion at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. His work is included in the collections of the Corning Museum of Glass and the Museum of Glass.
