About:
The collaborative nature of the process paired with the unpredictable outcomes, celebrates humanity and honors individuality.
How did you get started?
Glass artist Neal Drobnis started making glasses with faces in order to take a creative break and use glass remnants from around his studio. Around 2011 Lindsay Degen bought a glass at an art fair at which Neal was showing. Fast forward to 2018, a roommate broke one of the glasses and it sent her in a wild search for the artist. When she found Neal he said that he did not make that kind of work any more. Degen then offered to buy up a hundred of them to sell and to live with and the partnership was born and deemed FACE VESSEL.
What’s your favorite space and why?
Both Neal and Degen love being in the studio. But if you know Neal, you know that nothing brings him more joy then spending time in his garden in Scituate, Rhode Island. He calls it Neal's Apothecary.
