Corona Glass is a substance that Josh first developed by experimenting with glass chemistry in the mid-80’s. When molten, this unpredictable material is affected by temperature, humidity and many other factors, but when everything works out well, the resulting glass contains swirls and splashes of vibrant color. Its final appearance can be like a splash of liquid fire, an eddy of melted light, or an exploding galaxy such as one might see in Hubble Telescope imagery.

Planets are solid glass worlds that might exist in distant galaxies and universes. They contain continents teeming with life, mountains and forests, winding rivers, sandy beaches, and swirling oceans, while clouds or spaceships drift in the atmosphere above. Planets range in size from as small as 1.75” diameter to Megaplanets that may be larger than 12” and weigh more than 100 lbs.

Josiah Signature: Josh signs a piece of glass “Josiah” when it is one of his favorites, usually because it turned out very close to what he had in mind while making that piece… or sometimes because it’s just especially beautiful even if different from his plan. “Josiah” is Josh’s given name; it is also the name of his father and elder son.
