Work

Pieces Joe has made. Some were commissions. Some he made because he wanted to. None of this is a shop grid.

Three compact dry hand pipes held in a palm, each with different color and pattern.
A dramatically long Sherlock-style dry pipe held in one hand for scale.
The Gandolf. Intentionally too long.
Five branch-textured dry pipes on a garage floor mat, bark-like surfaces with color running through the grain.
Branch technique. Bark, grain, nubs — in glass.
A spread of functional pieces on a deck: long pipe, bubblers, hand pipes, and a slide.
Dry, water, long, compact. Same maker.
A tall matte-black water pipe with colorful swirl glass at the foot and mouthpiece.
A hammer-style bubbler in glossy black glass with teal, green, and lavender swirl work.
A set of elongated Sherlock-style pipes packed in foam inside a hard case.
Packed like they matter.
A long branch-textured Gandolf beside a Sherlock and a compact hand pipe on dry grass.
Same technique, three scales.
Three Sherlock-style pipes on a wooden deck, matte black with colored swirl sections.

Eight satin-finish Sherlock-style pipes arranged in a circle by color on a wooden deck.
A U-shaped bubbler held in a tattooed hand, matte black with woodgrain-colored glass accents.
A highly textured organic functional piece with ridged, almost bark-like surfaces.
A slender frosted lime-green water piece with a lavender cap, held over a lawn.
A sculptural multi-color functional pipe sitting on concrete in front of a hedge.
A matte pink and black functional piece held in one hand.
A small water piece with frosted green sections and iridescent swirl glass, sitting on a deck rail.
An elongated matte-black Sherlock with vivid color at the base and mouthpiece, standing on a deck rail.
A compact piece combining tight colorful wig-wag with a matte black stem, held outdoors.
Joe’s hand holding a cluster of black glass pieces wrapped in masking tape, mid-process.
Taped up. Something is about to happen to the surface.
A foam-lined case of finished Gandolfs and hand pipes on Joe’s workbench, with water pieces standing behind.
Finished work on the bench. Not a catalog — a day’s output.
