About Peter Mangan
I got a lucky break and worked at John Kebrle Glass Studio in Dallas for a summer, while attending college at UT Austin. After graduating with a Fine Art degree from UT, I moved from Texas to San Francisco, CA to pursue a career in visual art.
Fused glass appealed to me because it seemed new, even though it actually pre-dates glassblowing. Bullseye Glass Co. in Oregon was just starting to promote it. I applied for and got an apprenticeship at the Bullseye Fusing Ranch in the early 1980's. The research project I chose was metals in fused glass.I still use the knowledge from that period in my artwork.
I lived and worked as an artist in the Bay Area for 35 years.For 16 of those years, I split my time between San Francisco and Texas.Since 2014 my wife, Karen, and I are happy to be full-time Texans again…living on 14 beautiful acres outside of the Hill Country town of Blanco.
