It was a cool spring day, possibly May 5 or 7, 2020, when Ridiculousleeglassy, an artist renowned for his eccentricity and unwavering dedication to this craft, began working at his studio in Rickreall, Oregon, near Salem. Surrounded by the rhythmic hum of the furnace and the rich scent of molten glass, Lee is always deep in the process of creating something extraordinary. Whether he’s creating new prep to share with the masses of glassblowers worldwide or honing his own construction techniques, his focus is unwavering.
Ridiculousleeglassy’s journey has been one of constant inspiration and growth, deeply influenced by psychedelic art and surrealism. His mentor, Sir Pyro Glass, played a pivotal role in shaping his style, instilling a relentless drive for excellence. Equally influential is his girlfriend, Windstar Glass, whose own work fuels his passion for innovation and individuality.
With every twist and turn of the molten glass, Ridiculousleeglassy is reminded of the bigger picture. His goals aren’t simply to create; it is to master the craft, learn every technique and collaborate with others who share his vision for unique, one-of-a-kind art. Lee remains determined to one day be the best glassblower in the world. Yet beyond technical mastery, he’s always sought to grow as a person — striving to be a better human day in and day out.
As Ridiculousleeglassy looks back at his finished piece from the 2024 CHAMPS Glass Games “Down the Rabbit Hole” competition, he knows it was just one step in a larger journey. His future is full of promise, and his commitment to pushing boundaries is unwavering. For him, the art was never just about the glass — it is about constantly evolving, both as an artist and a person.
