Mr. Bernbaum says on his Web site:

“I am most interested in color, especially color relationships in the works I create in blown glass. Utilizing traditional Italian cane (or striping) techniques in new and  personalized ways is the driving force behind most of my current designs.

“I consider  the pieces I make to be documents along the way of a (hopefully) life-long journey of  both refining the necessary skills and developing the patience one needs in order to create with this captivating and mesmerizing molten material.’’
