In the late 60's Bob was introduced to the lapidary world through a small hobby shop in Utah. Since that experience, he has always had hobbies requiring hands-on activity. From stained glass to lampwork, the beauty of glass has always drawn him. Fused glass, lampworking and enameling have been the media where Bob could actively pursue his love of glass. Enameling is his primary focus. Fortunately, he lives only a short distance from the Thompson Enamel Company, and has been able to continue learning his craft from some of the best artists and technicians in the field. As he approaches retirement from teaching, he finds that he enjoys sharing his love of enameling with others.
