About this Instructor:
Matthew Eskuche began
his endevours into craft with Metalsmithing. He attended the two year
program in this medium at the Worcester Center for Crafts. Photography,
Ceramics, Drawing, Woodworking, and Fibre were also of interest and
touched on at this time.
Matt began flameworking
in 1998. A year later he studied with Emilio Santini for a two month
concentration at Penland in North Carolina. He again attended Penland
for Cesare Toffolo's tutelage in 2002. In 2006 He explored soft glass
with Luascha native Andre Gutgesell.
He exhibits his work
annually at the American Craft Council show in Baltimore, Maryland,
having received a merit award from the council in 2004. Thomas Riley
Galleries shows his work and represents him at the exhibitions of SOFA
Chicago and SOFA New York City.
Images of his work have
been published in Craft magazine, Glassline, Glass Art, the Flow, and in
the 2004 issue of New Glass Review, published in part by the Corning
Museum of Glass.
In 2005 he demonstrated
at the International Flameworking Conference, held at Salem Community
College in New Jersey before traveling to Adelaide, Australia to
demonstrate at the Glass Art Society conference. The Art Glass
