Holmes Glass Family

   The Holmes father and son glass duo is two very well known glass artists in the community. The father Mr. Darby Holmes got all his attention by his very unique dichroic flashy designs of cacti he sorta made his symbol. His home state is Arizona so it seemed fitting and his cactus design is not the only thing that gave him his many accolades. He also makes the most impressive fully boro glass guns that are know as the "Peace Guns." Which are so insanely detailed I could look at them for days and still find new aspects to it, truly beautiful pieces of art. Darby Holmes is truly a big part of the boro community history, he even partook in the huge glass movie that was produced couple years ago. With all the fathers skills and beautiful production of his art pieces, you could see how his son would want to follow in his steps. For Caleb Holmes the son he has been in the game since he could walk. Now that he's 18, he has acquired a lot of skills and he's old enough to make some serious moves in the glass game. Every successful glass blower has there own unique designs for their pieces and Caleb's signature design is teddy bears. Which I truly enjoy, it's extremely unique and there's just such a chill vibe to a teddy bear in general. Caleb as an independent artist is well known; he has produced collaboration pieces with the top people in the game. I personally own one of his pieces and I was just talking to him yesterday about his new pieces. He has a crazy collaboration with Hoobs Glass that I'm really trying to purchase off him. Caleb works in a really big studio based out of Oregon, truly beautiful place to live. Recently he was out in Vegas for a show and a competition. He did very well at the big show (it's the biggest glass show at the moment) and then like a week after he competed in a competition called Champs and at this competition you had to make these pieces with a story and a setting. He won the award for People's Choice! Now I technically own award winning glass :) So in conclusion the Holmes glass duo are a very accomplished crew and I cant wait to see what they each produce next, I hope to meet them in person one day.
