Crystal Profile by Michael Bokrosh III Cut and Polished Glass
Artist Statement
The sculptures that emerge out of my creative process reflect different aspects of my Soul. Each piece has its own history, its own past, present and future Mythology.
It is a great Journey getting to know one's own Soul. I do this by exploring, through the Work, the deep processes of my psyche. My intention in this Work is to lead to a better understanding of human values; the contraction of unconsciousness as opposed to the expansiveness of the creative process.
I would especially like to give heartfelt thanks and honor to all of my teachers, large and small, who have so graciously and patiently given of themselves.

A Biography of Glass Artist
Michael Robert Bokrosh III
Michael Bokrosh was born 1953 in Mankato, Minnesota and grew up surrounded by the glass tradition of his father, Michael Jr., a master glass craftsman for over 50 years. At the age of 14 Michael began his glass apprenticeship under the guidance of his father at Zeno glass company in Mankato.

Eight years later in 1975, Michael Bokrosh took a position with Glass Craft Studio in Portland, Oregon. At that time, stained glass as an art form was experiencing a grass root resurgence. Bokrosh's next apprenticeship training began at Glass Craft Studio in the drafting of glass designs used in the reproduction of stain glass lamps.
Within six months Bokrosh had mastered the drafting and design transfers and his training continued with glass cutting. Bokrosh was familiar with how to cut plate glass, having learned it earlier in his father's business. However the endless varieties and variations of the stained art glass medium required a flexibility and patience that would serve him well in years to come.
Within a year, he advanced to the glass art repair and restoration division of Glass Craft Studio, and two years later, Bokrosh's skill level was proficient enough that he could execute the designing, cutting, and repairing of art glass projects at Glass craft Studio. In 1977 Bokrosh, began his teaching career with an evening stained-glass class through Portland community college.
Stained Glass
In 1978, while still at Glass Craft Studio, Bokrosh developed an intense interest in the beveled art glass form and began to teach himself the technical process of glass beveling. The process of developing this difficult skill coupled with the growing demand for beveled art glass, lead to a chance meeting with an old world master of engraved and beveled art glass, George Smolcic. It is at Glass Craft Studio then that Michael Bokrosh first realized he would become a glass artist.
His new mentor George Smolcic, further solidified Bokrosh's career path by arranging for him to train in Europe at the Brusinia Stakla factory in Pula, Yugoslavia. Michael studied at that old world factory the cutting and polishing of art glass for six months with George's father, Duro Smolcic. Beveled GlassAfter his apprenticeship in Yugoslavia, Michael realized the value of the European glass master training programs; subsequently he applied for a position at the glass school in Orrefors, Sweden. Orrefors is a renowned art glass factory in the heart of the glass industry in Sweden. It was a significant move in Bokrosh's career when, in 1980, the government sponsored art school accepted Michael into its two-year glass masters program. "I felt extremely fortunate to be able to attend the Orrefors Glass School," commented Bokrosh. "The reputation of the school was excellent and I would be studying under the well-known art glass masters, who taught there," he added. The technical art training at the glass school was systematic; mornings were dedicated to learning how to shape hot glass art on the blowpipes, and the afternoons were spent learning the basic skills of cutting cold art glass. With the first school year over, a Norwegian classmate found a summer job for the impoverished Bokrosh at a glass factory in Oslo, Norway. This summer work provided the artist the necessary funding to continue at the Orrefors Glass school. Bokrosh's impressive work ethic at the glass factory in Oslo also earned him an invitation to come back and work there whenever he had a break from school.
Glass Blowing
Returning to the Orrefors' the following year as a senior, his skills with glass blowing and cutting greatly increased. Bokrosh was now learning how to blow glass into graphite molds and within a few months he was turning out a significant amount of production glass. The advanced cold working training consisted of mastering the deep cutting and engraving of traditional and contemporary designs into heavy lead crystal. The artist's steady hand and patience from his previous glass b
