Raven Skyriver's Personal Page

Born in 1982 Raven Skyriver started blowing glass in high school at the age of 16. Raven’s mentor Lark Dalton taught him how to build glass blowing equipment, and trained him in Venetian technique enabling Raven to build his own shop to work in. Soon thereafter, Raven joined the William Morris team, by Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen’s request in 2003. He worked there for the following seven years assisting Bill’s team, and continuing on with Karen, after bills retirement. Raven’s focus in the area of sculpture and his depiction of marine life is inspired by his island upbringing, and informed by the creatures that inhabit this fragile ecosystem.
