The Crucible Gallery

Artists J. David Taylor and Jason Wein have opened up a glass and metal studio and gallery in Burton, Ohio. They renovated an old building one block north of the junction of US 422 and Route 44, creating a space conducive to metalworking and glass blowing. Onsite, the artists showcase their work in The Crucible Gallery.

This venture culminates after many years of hard work in their field of metal and glass art. Wein & Taylor are experienced artists in glass blowing and metalwork. Their industrial metalwork and glass lighting are functional in even traditional home décor. Wein’s use of marble and steel are inspirational, and Taylor’s use of vibrant colors in his custom glass lighting, bowls and vases can transform a blank room instantly into a showcase of your personal style.


The forms illustrate flow impressions between biomorphic and linear shapes. The vectors are segmented, revealing abstract compositions and color relationships contained within them. The surface treatment of the organic forms creates a softer tone to challenge the crisp, polished surface of the tubes. The implied notions of continuation confront the viewer to assess if there could be more to the piece than what is seen. Taylor's intent is to evoke a visual play through color and intimate design elements.
