Craft and Art: Anemone Paperweight
In learning his craft, Adam was able to develop the skill – the ability to control glass at high temperature – to give him the opportunity to create his art which, he explains, is the “feeling that comes out, and the concept, of the piece” he is actually making.

Watching Adam Aaronson and his assistants, Candace and Will, at work is like watching a carefully choreographed routine: it’s all about awareness, timing and precision. Knowing that they were handling a hot, fluid and rapidly-moving medium makes it even more fascinating! But I am getting ahead of myself.
Rewind to 20 years ago… Adam was fortunate to establish his work in numerous department stores and galleries. However, he wanted to get out of, what he called, the “gift market” to do more bespoke work.
