A glassmaker from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, April Wagner creates beautiful hand-blown glass at her studio – epiphany studios in Pontiac, Michigan. Wagner has been working with molten glass since 1993, and she creates each piece by hand working at a 2000 °F furnace. Whether functional or decorative, the distinctive look of Wagner's work comes from her unusual combination of traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques and the unique methods she has developed over the years. Wagner's work has been commissioned for many prominent public and private collections including GM, Pfizer, Strategic Staffing Solutions, Vladimir Putin, Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson.
