Dominic Kessler, the youngest of the Kaspar-glass tradition.
The Kaspar - glass family comes from Bohemian / Silesian Sudeten Mountains. They have been successfully active in the numerous glass factories since the middle of the last century. In 1925, grandfather Franz Kaspar founded the company Franz Kaspar, crystal glass works, which works today in Neckarzimmern / Germany. There, in the glassworks of his uncle Peter Kaspar, Dominic Kessler learnt the craft of the glass blower. After studies in different German glassworks and in Sweden he resolved to build his own small glass studio in LA PALMA.
This decision needed a long time to mature, because Dominic Kessler is a qualified musician with a teaching degree for trombone. Thus two worlds are combined in an ideal way with each other. Therefore, maybe his creations have thus this special charm mixed with the romanticism of the south.
