Adrian English is a rising young star in the world of blown glass. Starting 9 years ago, Adrian has achieved a level of expertise in both technique and design that many glass blowers never attain.

From there, he studied with Sam Davidson of Sedalia Missouri and at Talisman Glass in Chicago with Ed Schmidt. He was one of only a handful of blowers to participate in a 2-week Master class with famed Italian glass artist Davide Salvadore of Murano. Adrian continues to grow and develop as an artist and is presently exploring incalmo and came pick-up in his glass work.

Adrian has major installations in both residential and commercial areas. One of his pieces is in the prestigious John Deere Collection and he has completed a one man show at the Vander Veer Conservatory in Davenport. He has a wall sculpture of blown glass rondels in the Bufe' residence, a 14 glass blown balloon installation at the METRO Transit Center in Moline, IL, and a mouth blown chandelier in the East Pointe Station in East Moline, Illinois.
