Dragon's Rose Studio - Phil Rose Art and IRD

Phil Rose is known for his thought-provoking art that typically starts life on a lathe and is enhanced with fused or blown glass and various embellishment techniques. As a teenager, Phil began working in wood. He started combining his wood art with glass in the last ten years. He believes the additive process of making glass and the subtractive process of turning wood on a lathe are a natural pair.

Some of his current work is inspired by thoughts of patterns and abstract shapes and creating everyday objects with different wood and glass. Phil strives to separate the mechanical aspects of the creation from the final artwork, inspiring viewers to admire the art and wonder how it was created. Phil often says, “While I generate ideas of art forms I would like to create, ultimately, the materials need to tell me what they want to become for their next life.”
