Shane uses a 2000 degree furnace to shape molten glass. He makes a wide range of items. From more tradition blown glass such as vases, drinking glasses, bowls, ornaments and paperweights. Although he loves the technical aspect of traditional items his real passion is sculpture. He often draws on nature and anatomy to inform his work. The sculptures often border on realism although sometimes they become quite fantastic. He enjoys incorporating a lot of detail and color into his sculptures. All the glass he makes is shaped entirely by hand using a variety of hand tools and torches. He built his glass making studio in his garage in 2020 and has managed to set it up so he can make almost anything he can imagine.

The studio is in a garage at the end on a not very long driveway. There is plenty of room for parking on the property and on the street. There is a bathroom although it is not easily accessible.
