Kevin Midgley has worked with various art media all his life. After finding glass in the late 1970's, it became his favorite working material. Largely self taught, he uses techniques and skills he devoloped through observation and experimentation, during countless kiln firings, to create his glass art. He designed and built his own special equipment and kilns. He attended various schools, colleges, and universities in order to collect the diverse knowledge that has allowed him to master glass making.
His work has been featured on the front covers of magazines, such as Chatelaine and Food and Wine as well as being frequently found in fine recipe books and restaurants.
His philosophy is to tread lightly upon this world. He carefully utilizes his materials and minimizes waste. His glass is clear and lead free. He uses the heat produced by his kilns to heat his studio and home. He lives and creates his clean art form in the United Nations Biosphere Trust of Clayoquot Sound, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
