Photo Slideshow: Zen Glass Studio, St. Petersburg
Just as nightfall brings relief from Florida’s summer heat and humidity, Zen Glass Studio begins to heat up as artists inside go to work creating glass goblets, pendants and vases. The modest studio in the historic Roser Park neighborhood is one of the many small businesses that are helping to grow the arts community in St. Petersburg.
Joshua Poll, co-founder of Zen Glass Studio in St. Petersburg, creates lustrous glass designs that he sells at art shows around the nation. He works through the night during the summer season to escape the daytime heat.
83 Degrees Managing Photographer Julie Busch photographed from start to finish Poll’s creation of one piece in preparation for the Bonnaroo Music & Arts festival in Manchester, Tenn. Watch as he turns a single rod of glass into an ethereal masterpiece.
