About Spherical Magic

Spherical Magic — The Spectrum of Creativity

Spherical Magic is the fusion of the vision, talent and ability of two accomplished artist-engineers into one force of creativity. The combining of resources and assets has proven fruitful in the completion of many large joint projects. A major mural and a major glass sculpture and two huge mobiles were among the first to be realized. With many more to come, the formation of a unified location to foster these efforts was nigh.
A new studio was purchased on ten acres at 2,000' elevation on a ridge top overlooking Carmel Valley and the Ventana Wilderness in California that allows for the housing of the many disciplines and the equipment required to suport our effort, with ample room for expansion. It currently houses:

A glass blowing studio for hot glass, warm glass and cold working with water-cooled glass saws, belt sanders and grinder/polishers.
Enclosed abrasive blasting cabinet for glass etching and carving.
Computer network of 10 Intel, Macintosh and UNIX machines for image processing, animation, film editing and design.
Traditional 6' drafting tables w/drafting machines.
Custom hydraulic scroll table for murals and large canvas.
44" Giclée printer for on-demand museum quality printing.
Color proofer for offset printing quality control.
Framing table for custom mats and frames.
Complete Wood Shop.
Two artist-engineers and five cats.

We're out of space already, so a medium-sized rustic workshop is planned for the east side of the property. In fact, we are in a capital drive offering free artwork at many various levels of patronage, so that we can build it to continue our work. Check it out. It's really a great deal.
