Artist's Corner

Hillel Rzepka

43 minutes | Monday, July 3, 2023

Listen to this heart-warming interview with Sawdust artist and master glass artist Hillel Rzepka, the Heartist. Rzepka's hearts are made from lampworked glass, which is melted and reformed over high heat. They are wrapped in gold and silver wire and hung from silver and gold chains to make necklaces and pendants. Rzepka also forms meaningful collages from them; listen to his story about the one he created after 9/11.
