Richard Remsen's Foundry and Gallery are on Park Street in West Rockport, Maine, near the junction of Routes 90 and 17. The gallery is filled with examples of his glass lures in various stages of completion. The exhibition is as graceful and elegant as the works on display.
The lures are typically over twenty inches long and twelve inches high. They are created, one at a time, from multi-colored molten glass blown into shape and slowly tempered, then carefully fitted with cast and polished brass hardware.
Mr. Remsen is currently at work on Reef Fish (at left) and Hawaiian Tube Fish.
