Cal Breed/Orbix Hot Glass
In 1972, Cal Breed was born in Alabama to an artist and an engineer. This combination of the expressive and the critical laid the framework for a life coursed by creativity and determination. After years of studying the beauty of the ocean and almost finishing a degree in Marine Biology, Cal was burdened by the need to be expressive with his hands. He soon enrolled at Ohio State University where he eventually went on to finish his BFA degree.
In 2000, Cal and his wife Christy began working towards opening a private studio. Orbix Hot Glass opened its furnace doors in Fort Payne, AL in 2002. Today Orbix creates a Studio Series and a Signature Series that adhere to Cal’s original purpose of combining the engineer and the artist within him. All of the designs pay close attention to proportion, color, purity and form, and each is chosen with specific intention to accentuate details particularly innate to glass.
