History of the Canal Fulton Glassworks

 

My name is Brian Graham and I founded the Canal Fulton Glassworks in 2006. I am a graduate of Kent State University. While at Kent, I studied archaeology and the craft of glass blowing under the noted instructor and studio glass movement pioneer Henry Halem. 

                                           

If you haven't already guessed it, I have a fondness for glass spheres or marbles. A good friend of mine, Michael Cohill, infected me with this wonderful affliction sometime in 1991. Since that time I can't seem to get marbles off of my mind. 

My works are on display at The American Toy Marble Museum in Akron, Ohio. I have also been featured on the television show Applause, which is produced by PBS station WVIZ  25 of Cleveland, Ohio. 

While not working with hot glass, I can be found enjoying time with my wife Emily and children Elijah and Chloe. I'm also known to enjoy a good cold beer now and then as well.
