Tonder Glassworks
 Michael
Tonder - working with recycled plate glass, kilns, and
sandblaster - creates one-of-a-kind glass sculptures.
Hand-cut from flat sheets of glass, each creation
is carefully assembled, then fired in an electric kiln.
After firing, the fused glass forms
are then carved and etched to completion.
Within each form, Tonder employs internal lines, altered
surface textures, and light reflection, refraction,
and diffusion to create tension, stimulate curiosity,
and engage the eye. His
art reflects the many influences of
his experience as a forester and park manager, and many
excursions into Minnesota's Boundary Waters and Ontario's
Quetico Provincial Park.

Statement: A quiet, contemplative sculpture
with the strength and presence of a north shore water
fall is the goal of my work.
