Cal Breed

In 1972, Cal Breed was born to an artist and an engineer.  This combination of the expressive and the critical laid the framework for a life coursed by grasping to bridge the seemingly dichotomous.  After years of studying the beauty of the ocean, and its life, and almost finishing a degree in Marine Biology at Auburn University, Cal’s heart was burdened with the need to be expressive with his hands.  Bowing to that burden, he began to study the arts.  Having such a quiet demeanor he sought for a material that inherently spoke boldly and clearly.  In 1994 Cal found glass—first in assembling stained glass windows, and finally to glassblowing.
