Randall Grubb (California and Oregon, USA). Randy Grubb began his glass-working career at Correia Glass in Southern California. Like other top flight glass artists, Randall is obviously a genius. He was building Hot Rod racing cars as a teenager and has a degree in Business from the University of Southern California. While working at Correia on technical aspects of glass production, he became fascinated by paperweight art and especially by lampwork. He built his own studio and began making lampwork weights in 1986. At some point, he stopped working with glass and returned to work in race cars. His glass paperweights are amazingly perfect and his flowers are some of the most perfect ever made, with petals the thickness of actual flower petals – amazing. He used the best optical quality glass available.
