Working out of his studio in Northern California, Michael Sosin blows and forms hot glass to emphasize the traditional processes used in glassworking. Sosin is attracted to the excitement and mystery, tenderness and fragility of glass. No piece is ever entirely reproducible or predictable.

Michael earned his Master’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley, where he later taught. He subsequently spent two years studying glass at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. He has continued to study glass at the finest glass schools in America, all of them world-renowned.

His work has been shown at major museums, galleries and juried exhibitions throughout the United States, including the Oakland Art Museum and the Oakland Art Museum Collector’s Gallery; the San Jose Art Museum; the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Folk Art; the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; and the Renwick Museum of The Smithsonian, Washington DC.
