Wrapped Tumbler by Corey Silverman
Available in two patterns: a compressed circular wrap we call "Concentric" and a looser, overlapping wrap called "Meander" The tumbler base is clear glass wrapped in red-gold or silvery-blue glass threads NOTE: red-gold appears red on the inside of the glass; on the outside it has a soft gold finish that may have hints of blue. Customers appreciate the "grip" provided by the wrapping. Holds approx 11 fl oz to-the-brim capacity.

Handmade by Corey Silverman of The Furnace in Denver, Colorado.
Corey Silverman of The Furnace was formally trained as a glass artist while getting his BFA at Alfred University in Alfred, New York. Upon graduating in 1998 he worked with several glass studios around the country before settling in Denver, Colorado in 1999.
After much experimentation with glass in all its guises--including slumped forms, casting, cold work, and solid sculpting--he found himself always coming back to the blown form. “I love the immediacy found in making a blown vessel. There’s no questioning what it’s going to look like. You know the end result as you’re putting it away in the annealer. It feels great to have that kind of instant gratification in an art form.”
Corey Silverman created The Furnace Inc. in April of 2016 after 8 years as a partner and co-owner of C&H Glassworks. Everything from the Furnace is handblown and sculpted by Corey. Although there are specific product lines, every item is one of a kind. All pieces are signed and dated.
