About the Artist

Stephen Boehme is a glass blower based in Salt Lake City, Utah. A retired high school teacher, he now specializes in creating Murrine marbles and paperweights. His fascination with Murrine began in 2010 while vending at an arts festival in Bountiful, Utah. There, he encountered fellow artist Jody McDougall, whose booth featured an impressive display of glass beads. Curious about the intricate images within the glass, he asked her about her technique and was introduced to the art of Murrine. From that moment, he was hooked. Stephen has been creating Murrine ever since, with the personal goal of crafting one new Murrine each week until the day he dies.
