ABOUT THE ARTIST
Filip Vogelpohl, born in Progue, Czech Republic, fled to America in 1987. He grew up in Boise, Idaho, taking art classes in Jr. High and High School. After graduating High School, Vogelpohl visited Eugene, Oregon, where his instant attraction to glassblowing sparked. In 1997, Vogelpohl began flameworking in his garage. The first two years involved much torch time and guidance from Robert Mickelson, Kevin O’Grady and Casare Toffolo.
A portion of Filip’s work revolves around spheres; exquisitely large ones. Vogelpohl is known for his unique vortex marbles. He was the first to create a five inch borosilicate vortex marble. Sculptural and functional glass also play a big role in Vogelpohl’s lampworking career.
“There is so much satisfaction working with this medium. I have no doubt that I will never stop learning and forever be inspired,” he says.
Vogelpohl’s art is displayed in many boutiques and galleries throughout the United States, Japan and in his own gallery in Boise, Boise Art Glass.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am a Boise painter working in pastel and oil, and my usual subjects are panoramic landscapes and still life. I am particularly interested in depicting the play of light, whether it falls on open Idaho desert or on the various textures of objects I set up in a still life. The MUNNY project, which I have participated in for most of the years that The Record Exchange has sponsored it, gives me an opportunity to do something entirely different from my typical painting, and it’s also really fun. My work can be seen on my website, shelleymccarl.com, or by appointment by calling me at (208) 283-4158. — Shelly McCarl
