Tom Snyder

Following a 25 year career as a Corporate Treasurer, Tom has dedicated the past twelve years to glass work. The precision of his glass cutting and symmetry from his mathematics background, best display themselves in his intricate mosaic vases containing 1,000's of hand-cut tiles. In 2006, Tom had the opportunity to organize a group of volunteers to construct a 30,000 hand-cut glass tile mural for Extreme Makeover Home Edition. The wall mural was constructed in the catering kitchen of the family in Logan, Utah. Saundra, working with Ty Pennington, prepared a digital rendering of the sunburst pattern. Tom enjoys teaching classes and workshops. While most of the workshops (see https://designerglassmosaics.com/workshops/ ) are held at the design center in Charlotte, Tom is a part time instructor at Delphi Glass in Lansing, Michigan and has taught in Cincinnati and Chicago.
