Greg Fidler 

Bakersville, North Carolina

Greg Fidler is a Bakersville, North Carolina glass artist.  He received a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Illinois, has completed an artist residency at the Penland School of Crafts, and has attended classes at both the Pilchuck Glass School and the Haystack School of Crafts.  He exhibits throughout the country, including at Prism Contemporary Glass (Chicago), Morgan Contemporary Glass (Pittsburgh), and Gallery W.D.O (Charlotte) and maintains the production glass line, Ipso Facto. 

Of his work, Fidler writes:
 
The familiar essence of glass is derived from a manufactured utilitarian need. Processes in hand forming glass undermine these attributes and in effect give my work purpose. It is my desire to produce sculpture that communicates progression while paying respect to traditional processes and their survival in the present. My ideas owe more to natural forms and my deference for the material than to consciousness obscurity.
