Richard Satava was introduced to glassblowing in 1969 while at Ocean High School in Pacfica, CA. He subsequently studied art and glassblowing art at the College of San Mateo and California State University in Chico. In 1977 he established his own Northern California glass studio:  Satava Art Glass. Since that time, he has created art glass that captures the beauty and wonder of Nature, from the ocean to the mountains. Each handblown piece created at Satava Art Glass Studio is an original design by Richard Satava, a master glassblower, and individually crafted by carefully combining the highest degree of technical skills and artistic creativity.
