Chuck Pound

Chuck Pound makes glass iciclesHi, my name is Chuck Pound. I am the hot glass sculptor, glass icicle maker, and maker of artistic old school electronic devices at Sirius Sunlight here in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. My background includes electronics and electrical experience and no formal schooling in art. I learned torchwork mostly by trial and error, not the recommended method but it worked(?). I have been doing torchwork and stained glass since 1985. Starting sometime around 1990 I started making art glass marbles for collectors and other glass lovers, but make very few marbles these days (2024). Oh, I am now way older than these photos show.

Brindle (aka Chow) helping Chuck work at the torchDiversions I enjoy in the warmer months? A few kayak trips on local rivers, sometimes a little fishing, backcountry hiking (preferably in the Colorado Rocky’s or southern Utah's canyons and mesas). Winter finds us often wandering around out in the cold in nearby parks, my favorite time of year.
