Using techniques of: lead-work stained glass, glass blowing and glass
etching, the creations Olen Givens  invents are birthed from an
attitude of; “To go where no man has  gone before”!
    The Space Globe is a day dream initiator. In a gentle breeze it orbits
gracefully catching our attention and providing a moment of respite from our
busy minds. When combined with sunlight they sparkle and shoot light shards and prism effects which add joy to your environment.
      Olen was born on Planet Clair and during the Morgock invasion was
able  to  escape unharmed. Missing his home land, he fills his time re-creating memories of his childhood out of glass.

Olen learned stained glass design and production from Chis Pearson; pearsonstudio.com, on sunny Cape Cod, in Massachusetts. Challenged by his mentor to come up with “something different”; to be displayed in the gallery, Olen began experimenting and soon designed his first Space Globe. These “Star Sculptures” were an instant hit. Olen has always been driven to experiment and so his glass constructions continually evolve. Some recent studies which influence Olen’s work are in glass blowing and glass etching.
