The art of Christopher Upp

Born in Lihue on the island of Kauai, Glassblower Christopher Aaron Upp now lives on the Big Island of Hawaii. His interest in the arts began early when he joined his father, Michael Upp, in his pottery studio at the age of four. Michael's focus was on high-fired glazed works for the home, including full dinnerware sets. Christopher insisted on creating his own works in clay and was pictured in the home town paper at age five. Christopher began teaching himself glass work over ten years ago, flame working pure crystal to create one of a kind art pieces. He started working soft glass three years ago and the recent addition of a furnace to his studio has allowed him to expand his creativity and increase production. He also designs architectural lighting, from hanging sconces to large installations. Of his work Christopher states, "Natural colors and life-like features are what I strive for in my attention to detail. Almost daily I'm in the water, surfing or swimming the reefs".
