Ellis Dulchin first found glass while still in high school. Taking classes at Urban Glass, he quickly became enamored with the mastery and unachievable perfection of Venetian goblet making. Ellis was pursuing a BFA at Tyler School of Art during the Covid 19 pandemic, and when the studios shut down, he turned to testing and experimentation with household and construction materials. As studios re-opened, he interwove those experiments with work in glass and metal, creating detailed objects rooted in gesture and form. Ellis loves to make physical, sometimes functional objects as he wants the audience to live with and interact with his work. Ellis was born in Brooklyn, where he continues to live and work.
