Brian Iverson: Glass Blower

Glass Artist Brian Iverson grew up in the Yakima Valley on a small family farm and
spent his childhood exploring the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. In 1992 he
joined the US Navy after finishing high school and travelled the world. He was
drawn to Port Townsend and its strong arts community in 1999 and fell in love
with the Olympic Peninsula. Brian spent years commercial fishing in Alaska and
the Pacific Ocean, working on boats in Port Townsend while also pursuing his
passion for creating glass art.
Over his twenty-five-year career, Brian has collaborated and worked with many
glass artists. Brian has assisted artists in producing their art and has also spent
time instructing students in several public hot shops. Brian worked alongside
world-class artists at Moana Glass, creating large sculptural work in their state of
the art Hot Shop. He participated in sessions at Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood
WA, both as a student and as a studio assistant to the artist in residence. Brian
assisted the artist in residence at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA in 2022. He
operates a booth at the Jefferson County Farmer’s Market and has been a
member since 2017; he has also participated in several gallery exhibitions over the
years.
Brian has enjoyed exhibiting at Port Townsend Gallery, both indoor and as a
garden exhibitor. Brian is currently engaged in the process of constructing a home
studio and looking forward to continuing his exploration and growth as an artist.
