About Charlie Miner In 1972, Charlie Miner attended a sculpture conference in Lawrence, Kansas where there was a small glass studio set up for Harvey Littleton. When he returned to Santa Fe, Charlie hooked up with Glory Hole Glassworks and fell in love with functional glassblowing. He spent the next ten years at craft fairs. After that, he studied glass casting at Pilchuck Glass School with David Reekie and Clifford Rainey. When Charlie returned home, he started combining bronze techniques with ancient glass casting techniques. Charlie blows glass, but his cast work has received the most critical acclaim. Both styles are represented at Tesuque Glass Works which he founded in 1975 under an old tin shed attached to the back of a now defunct Shamrock gas station in Pojoaque, New Mexico. The working studio, which has grown over the years, represents other artists who blow glass daily in the hot shop. The Glass Works functions as a gallery, production studio, and a place to see and learn about glass in its various forms. Miner’s work is represented in private and public collections throughout the United States, including the Corning Museum of Glass, New York; Fuller Craft Museum, Massachusetts; Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana; the Tucson Museum of Art, Arizona; and the New Mexico Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe.
