Timothy Lotton is a third generation glass blower in the Lotton family. He is grandson of Charles Lotton. Charles Lotton is the patriarch, self-taught in the art of glassblowing in 1970. He is now regarded as, "The Tiffany of the Twenty-First Century." His sons David, Daniel and John learned alongside their father.
Throughout his teen years, Timothy spent countless hours being mentored by family members and developing an artistic distinction all his own. At age sixteen Timothy started making paperweights to begin his glass-making career. From there he moved onto mid sized sculptures and small vases. As high school ended Timothy became impatient, and began his artistic pursuits in sculpting glass full time. By 19 years old, he was already selling his glasswork in several prestigious galleries across the nation and was featured in a full-length article in Art Business News. Tim’s extremely difficult process starts intricately as he prefers to visualize the piece first and then sketch it out. His beautiful hand-blown masterpieces are treasured among collectors because of their delicate beauty. Each glass art is one of a kind and masterfully crafted, layer-by-layer in 2100-degree heat! Every vibrantly colored hue incorporated into the blown glass is unique to the Lotton family. No one in the world will ever utilize the same color scheme.
Today, Timothy shares the same passion for glass blowing that his father and grandfather have before him. He enjoys working on large, layered floral pieces. He strives for perfection everyday, working side-by-side with his father and grandfather in their family studio. It is clear that this young artist will be someone we will want to watch in the future. Tim recently opened his own studio in 2017 and is working on exciting new creations!
