Curtis Van De Vooren is a gaffer at Red Oak Glass.

His journey into creativity and expression has passed through secluded trails in the high Sierras of California to the wonderful whitewater of the Northwest, bringing him to Bend, Oregon, Where he was fortunate enough to be mentored by Michelle Kaptur at "Glass Dancing" studio.

Curtis is now sharing his views of color and nature in glass. Every piece is a reflection of the joy he experiences drawing from the people, places and life around him.
"Red Oak Glass is a great place for bringing light to the spirit as well as the home."
