About the Artists of Pyros Glass Studio

Paul Kimball

Jennifer Kimball

Yes, he IS a rocket scientist!  After many years in the aerospace and computer industries, Paul turned his attention to glass.  A registered Mad Scientist from an early age, Paul is constantly searching for the knowledge that others throw away and applying it to glass technology.  His search for the perfect fusing binder led him to the "Freeze 'N' Fuse" method.  Paul loves sharing his work and discoveries with students, and holds nothing back in class.
