MT Baker

(Paraphased Interview with Seamus Murphy, Creator of Mt. Baker Glass)

What's your favourite thing to eat after smoking?
The saltier the better, like Doritos

How do you counteract cottonmouth??
Beer!

How did you get into the industry?
Had a friend and needed a job, the wife was finishing medical school. Pretty simple, really.

Okay, so tell me about the thick colour working, that's a fairly unusual thing to see in glass.
I like working in abstracts, nothing super literal. You can see what you want to see. It might look like the sky, or the ocean, or whatever. I was driven to continue where other people stop and say "that's good enough". I really want a marriage of looks and efficiency.

If you could give one of your pieces to someone and smoke with them, who would it be?
Jon Stewart. There'd be lively music and we'd discuss politics.

If you could take any dinosaur and make it bigger or smaller and have it as a pet, what dinosaur would you pick and what size would you make it?
An 80 pound, 18" tall Ankylosaurus. He'd be like a mini pitbull!
