Craig Merriman

I challenge the boundaries of glass by blending traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology, exploring new ways to shape, texture, and visualize the material. My process combines kiln work, photogrammetry, 3D printing, and machine-drawn imagery using powdered glass and enamel. Whether sculpting relief patterns, capturing light through multi-layered compositions, or programming machines to push glass into unexpected forms, my work is driven by discovery. Each piece is an experiment—where craftsmanship, data, and innovation intersect to redefine what glass can be. Through my work, I invite you to see glass beyond convention, in ways you haven’t before.

Experience the fusion of art and technology in Digital Harmony. Created using a drawing machine, computer-generated math-based SVG files, and sgraffito techniques with powdered glass, this piece is a study in precision and innovation. Each curve and contour isn’t just design—it’s the result of calculated movement, where digital tools shape glass in ways that traditional methods alone cannot. Digital Harmony is where craftsmanship meets code, where light and form interact in unexpected ways. Through this work, I explore the intersection of human intention and machine precision, pushing the limits of glass in the digital age.
