James Whitehurst is a glass artist based in Dunnellon, Florida, working primarily with furnace-blown glass. His practice centers on the use of uranium glass and intricately sand-carved imagery applied to blown vessels. By combining traditional glassblowing techniques with precise coldworking processes, Whitehurst creates vases that explore the interaction of light, surface, and form. The luminous quality of uranium glass paired with carved narrative imagery gives each piece a layered visual depth, bridging historical glassmaking traditions with contemporary studio practice.
