Nancy Vorhauer’s passion for glass began at the age of four when her mother, a glass collector, took her to watch the Clevenger brothers of Clayton, NJ, blowing reproductions of old South Jersey glass.
Her father, a chemist, introduced her to scientific
glassware at about six years of age. In 1985 Vorhauer entered the
two year Scientific Glassblowing program at Salem County Community
College and in 1988 started full time at Wheaton Village demonstrating flameworking.
Nancy fell in love with the color and fluid
quality of soft-molten glass. While exploring flameworked
paperweights, she created smaller and smaller pieces, slowly evolving
into a new type of marble. These have held her heart to this
day.
Vorhauer is best known for the Bacon and Egg Marble.
