About Christopher Belleau

"There are many reasons why I work with glass. Though I was trained as a potter, apprenticing at age 13 to a craftsman from my home town in Wisconsin, I was eventually drawn to the more ethereal, fluid and translucent qualities of glass. But what really hooked me was the opportunity glass provides to play with color. I am the only glass blower in Rhode Island that makes colored glass from the raw ingredients on a regular basis. This allows for variations of intensity of hue, tone and depth which are not available with commercial colors. Recently, I have been experimenting with irridizing hot glass. I am captivated by the rainbow flow of colors with the variations of metalic and matt surface textures.

One of the aspects I truly enjoy about my profession is teamwork. Most of what I make requires the skill of another set of hands. I have the good fortune of working with many talented assistants. They have all brought with them unique ideas and ways of working from which I have learned and benefited.

The main focus of my work for the last 30 years has been the creation and production of glass flowers. Initially, I didn't even want to make flowers. A lot of glass blowers were doing them and they all looked pretty much the same. But the challenge of rendering these natural subjects in glass soon caught my imagination and I was on fire with ideas. I'm not attempting to make botanical specimens. Instead, I am making works of art inspired by nature. One of the tools I use to make flowers I developed for another purpose, making fish fins. I now have a line of more than 30 flower forms ranging from familiar flowers and exotics to purely fanciful. The most popular flower in my line is the iris. Though I make many flowers, each one is a unique creation requiring intense concentration and often great skill to produce.

In addition to flowers, I make many different types of vases, paperweights, perfume bottles, jewelry and other sculpture. One of my favorite things to make is glass fish. I am inspired by the infinite varieties and patterns of fish in nature. I enjoy letting my imagination run wild in their design.

I hope that the viewer finds my work to have a sense of beauty, magic, and maybe, even humor. It is a pleasure for me to share what I do. I find it all great fun and an endless challenge."

Very good perspective on Ephesians
Format: Kindle
For many years much of Christianity has looked to the book of Romans as the best book to help us to understand the gospel. Here N.T. Wright walks us through the suggestion that perhaps Ephesians is a better communicator of the Gospel. This is a great book to challenge you and expand your perspective of Ephesians.

Great book, substandard printing
Format: Hardcover
Really enjoyed this book. Very well written and presented. The concepts presented are very thought provoking. My only complaint is that the book is cheaply printed and bound (hard-cover). For the price, I expected a much higher quality product. The first page was partially glued to the cover, the paper is rough in texture and feels cheap. The cover is not well bonded to the pages with obvious gaps when the book is fully opened.

Brilliant
Format: Kindle
I just love NT Wright. If you’ve read anything he’s written before then you know he’s big on believers being agents of new creation in this world. The phrase he repeats over and over in this book is “small working models of new creation.” Ephesians is about how God has rescued us in the Messiah and made us new humans so we can display what new creation looks like to a watching world. The church is God’s new temple - the place where heaven and earth meet and from where God’s glory spreads to bring renewal like the river in Ezekiel. Our vocation is to do good works that display God’s creativity and cause people to be amazed at His redeeming love. Our unity in diversity, our mutual submission, and our work in the world are all to have this one goal - displaying God’s glory.
