Treg & Candace Silkwood
Treg Silkwood was born and raised in the valley of the Yellowstone River in Montana. Silkwood earned his BFA in glass from Alfred University, and studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague and at Illinois State University. Treg has spent over twenty -five years of his life mastering the skill and art of blowing and sculpting glass. Candace has spent nearly forty years exploring numerous art forms from painting to sculpture and has over fifteen years experience working glass. Together, Treg and Candace create unique, one of a kind, handcrafted glass and sculpture largely inspired by the natural world. Their mission is to create exceptional glasswork that evokes a similar sense of wonder and awe to that they have discovered on their walks along the California Coast. In 2002, Treg relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he and Candace Martin formed Silkwood Glass-a custom, handcrafted glass company.
