Moonboot

Nate AKA Moonboot is one of my personal favorite artists nationally and he is located right here in central Ohio.  Nate works out of the Mansfield area with the Old Country Blew Glass crew and has been on the torch for over 20 years going back to 1998.  Nate is an all-around good guy and country boy to boot.  When he is not blowing glass you can find him out in the woods hunting or fishing. Known for his signature flint knapping work, Nate has a steady hand and soul when cold working arrowheads, daggers, and other glass creations. When he isn't making sharp objects, Moonboot is working up about any other type of glass style you can imagine… dichro, millis, retti, linework, UV, highly function rigs, pendants, pipes, sculptures, glass chains, honeycomb, on the lathe or not….One of the most diverse artists you will meet while killing each style he tries.  Nate has worked with and trained under some of the biggest names in the business….cough… Eusheen …cough…

“I get a lot of my inspiration from nature and other artists in the industry.  There are so many people extending the limits on what can be done with Boro.  It keeps me excited about learning new things and pushing my work forward.” - Moonboot
