Accent Art Glass Presents: About the Artist
MAZET STUDIOS
JOSH MAZET
Mazet Studios is the work of the three Mazet brothers: Joshua, Eli, and Tim from
Eugene, Oregon. Eugene is recognized as a national center for lampwork glass, and home of the
Eugene Public Glass School. Josh Mazet received his BFA in Ceramics from the University of
Oregon in 1999. After graduating he was invited into the Fine Arts Department as a resident
artist. For three years he maintained a studio, instructed the wood fired ceramics class which
included students and community members, and led 15 fires in the university’s Anagama Kiln.
It was during this time Josh was introduced to lampworking boroscilicate. His work in ceramics
gave him a understanding and comfort with flame, atmospheres, kilns, and the chemistry of
glass. This compounded with the similarities of the medium, allowed for a smooth and rapid
learning of a new medium.
