Description
Scott Deppe, hailing from Idaho, made his way to Bellingham, Washington, a year before venturing into pipe-making. His introduction to blown glass pipes at a Grateful Dead show in 1993 sparked a journey that led him to buy a torch and glass at a local hardware store. Setting up in his living room, Deppe's experimentation resulted in melting spoon pipes, driven by a desire to recreate a cherished piece from the Dead show – a small spoon with a mushroom bead.
Self-taught with an early goblet class by Brian Kerkvliet, Deppe is renowned for constant experimentation on the torch, showcasing mind-blowing solo works like "Take Me to the Mothership" and collaborative Team Japan pieces. These creations challenged perceptions of glass art's value. Deppe, the founder of Mothership, established this glass artist collective in 2013 with a mission to craft the finest functional glass in the galaxy. The Pacific Northwest became the first Earthly landing site for Mothership, where a dedicated team pushes boundaries to merge beauty and sophistication into functional glass art, fueled by a passion for the art form and cannabis culture.
Widely acknowledged as one of the most talented glass artists, Deppe's precision craftsmanship is evident in every Mothership piece. While some artists carve niches with trademark styles, Scott Deppe continually astonishes with a versatile mastery of various techniques.
