A friend showed me some of Treavor Holdman’s glass creations on ebay. They are incredible! My wife and I were still living in a tiny apartment, but I nevertheless insisted on buying on one of his pieces. It’s just crazy knowing someone you went to high school with is that talented.

I’ve bought four pieces from Treavor (so far). His specialty is huge glass plates which come with an optional metal stand. We have our first piece sitting in the sun window above our kitchen sink, and it’s spectacular.

His glass plates make the perfect gift too.

After visiting the Bellagio and seeing some of Dale Chihuly’s chandeliers, I commissioned Treavor to make his first one. I think it turned out awesome.

All the photographs I’ve taken don’t give it justice. He created the frame and placed the lights angled so they have to travel through the glass, which makes the emerging light colorful and incredible.

Treavor Holdman’s glass is original art, which makes it not only beautiful and unique, but collectible. He is the next Chilhuly, whose glass sculptures range in the hundreds of thousands.

If you’re interested in one of his pieces, you can either place a bid on ebay, or email him (treavor@holdman.com) to make a custom piece. He’ll have it ready in less than 3 weeks, and can ship it anywhere in the country.
