After completing a degree in Scientific Glassblowing Kiva Ford went on to spend years creating, complex and one of a kind glass instruments for scientists. The complexity of the work as well as the variation in details between jobs, means that his work, cannot be mass produced or attempted by a machine. Below is a video that illustrates more of Ford's technique and story, followed by a number of images of glass goblets, bottles, pendants and vessels. Amazing how he manages to encases glass in glass...
