Robert Held produces some of the most amazing art glass and heart-shaped paperweights that I've ever seen with the most collectible collections!
Robert Held Art Glass is Canada's largest hot glass studio and gallery. The various collections of art glass range from the classic to the very contemporary. They are truly the most beautiful works of art that I've ever seen. Each and every item is a collectible masterpiece as his designs are inspired by the work of famous artists such as Monet, Klimt and Tiffany. I was first introduced to his work in June 2006 when I spotted his California Poppy Paperweight at Gumps online store. That particular paperweight caught my eye as I am an art enthusiast who appreciates Impressionist-inspired art glass. I love hearts!

About Robert Held ...
Robert Held was a ceramicist graduate teaching assistant at USC when he became intrigued with glass blowing. But it would be a few years before he turned his full attention to the study and blowing of glass. It was when he moved to Sheridan College School of Design in Canada that his persistence in pursuing this new love would pay off.A group of engineers at Consumer's Glass encouraged Robert to start a glass blowing school at Sheridan and even donated a furnace and helped him with contacts in Germany for supplies. Robert made glass blowing a requirement for his ceramics students. But the project met with disaster when a fire leveled the school.
After leaving Sheridan in 1976 Robert went to work at Canadian Art Glass, first on the business side opening up markets. In 1978 he opened Skookum Art Glass, a hot glass studio, followed shortly by a move to Vancouver with his soon to be wife, and the opening of Robert Held Art Glass which is now in its 26th year and boasts some of the most beautiful, creative designs made anywhere!
Robert's designs are based on the techniques, colors and forms of the greatest glassmakers and artists - such as Tiffany and Monet.

- Hi, I bought a vase from the Robert Held studio here in Vancouver about 8 years ago. Do you know where I can get more info on it? It's quite a beautiful piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marie
