Marlene Rose is considered the foremost sand-cast glass artist in America. Sand-casting is an ancient metal casting technique that has only recently been adapted for glass.  Liquid molten glass is poured into individual sand molds, and each is destroyed after a single-use, yielding a one-of-a-kind glass sculpture.  Marlene’s work has a quality of timelessness reflecting both ancient and modern. Her sculptures celebrate the unique properties of glass, transparency, shine, and reflection.  Because her works are cast objects, they hold in their form the memory of the shapes and textures of the materials that formed them; they are fine-grained, rugged or smooth, transparent or translucent, colored or clear.
