Next, he was educated at Secondary Art Glass School. He quickly gained recognition in the world of glass. At the age of 20 he was hired by many artists from around the world to help them and to perform specific jobs. He worked as a gaffer and assistant i.e. for William Morris. He was also an instructor in Pilchuk Glass School in USA. He is an artist who constantly rediscovers the magic of glass.
