For the past few years, husband and wife team, Patti and Dave Hegland have been developing their interest in art glass. The Spy recently visited the couple’s studio in Millington for a peak at the process and to see some of their latest creations. Their work will be on display at Robert Ortiz’s studio on the next first Friday.

WOW, your work is incredibly beautiful! Thank you for opening your studio and process to the video eye.
John says
Great video. Always fun to learn about something you never knew you were interested in before.
Bob Ortiz says
Like all of the other spy profiles, this one is beautifully filmed and edited, interesting and infromative. For those who can’t make the First Friday opening we’re having an Ortiz Studios/ Hegland Glass open house the next day, Saturday June 5th from 2 until 6. The Heglands will talk about their process and perhaps demonstrate and we’ll have a wine tasting at 4 PM featuring wines from Play it Again Sam’s Cafe…that’s at the Ortiz Studios 207 So. Cross Street, Chestertown.

Very impressive work, extraordinary work ethic, and craftsmanship. The finished pieces are elegant objects in their simplicity and visually tactile in their complexity. I absolutely loved seeing both the work and this short film on their glass making process.

Good to see an older couple still involved.
