Third Rail Glass was a glass blowing studio started by Frantz Davies in 1992, after studying at Penland, NC under Flo Perkins from Santa Fe, NM and Brian Kerkvliet from Bellingham, WA. Various blown and cast glass pieces were produced over the years, specializing in hot assembled work utilizing a two-car garage. Great respect was learned from the rhythm and syncopation of a team working in concert to produce complicated blown pieces – and a lesson directly applicable many ventures including architecture and construction.
