Peter Greenwood was born in 1960 in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1979, he had a shift of consciousness; the mystique, the discipline, the spiritual exercise which defines glassblowing forever changed his life. At age 19, Greenwood attended the Rhode Island School of Design. He later studied at the Pilchuck School in Washington, where he was exposed to the Venetian virtuosity of glassblowing. In 1980, he designed and built a glass studio in Farmington, Connecticut. His work is stylized in form and his craftsmanship is precise – complex patterns of composed glass canes visually enhance his multi-bubble vessels, bowls and plates. He thinks three dimensionally with ease and is a natural builder. His works include finely crafted wood furniture, hand forged iron, stainless steel fabrication, and stone fireplaces.
