"I've been covering the glass art industry for over a decade, and the creativity and innovation of the glass pipe artists seems to be boundless. Smoked, Volume 1 is proof of this emerging artistic culture. Stunning shots of the best and most brilliant smoking paraphernalia being blown today are featured and will convince any doubters that the most cutting edge artists in the USA are working with glass."

A "PIECE OF THE EXHIBITION"
ARTIST: PAKOH
An Alumni of the prestigious Glass Works Park of Seattle, Pakoh's work is abstract, conceptual and truly unique, as in this creation called "CITY PIPES". His use of urban landscapes as imagery within his work fits perfectly with his edgy and gritty underground aesthetic. As evidenced by the subject matter, attention to detail, and elaboration of his creations, Pakoh reflects on the appeal of this particular artistic medium, "Glass Art allows me to explore the possibilities of the medium while expressing my ideas and emotions of the human condition."

A "PIECE OF THE EXHIBITION"
ARTIST: DAVID COLTON
A fun and optimistic piece "UNITITLED I", featuring 60's inspired colors and forms. David Colton has a fluid and freeform style, in which he desribes, "I start small, and then try to eleborate on a general flow, usually ending when the kilm runs out of space, I run out of color, or the piece cracks". This particular piece is versatile in its appeal, and would suit the decor of any retro or post-modern home or environment.
