 Each Vitrix art glass piece is thoroughly inspected before being inscribed with the Vitrix signature and date.

Tom Kelly went to work for Bob Rockwell in 1982.  Mr. Rockwell is the world's foremost collector of Carder-Steuben glass. (To see Mr. Rockwell's collection, visit the Rockwell Museum in Corning.)

Tom Kelly later worked with Thomas S. Buechner III at Vitrix Hot Glass Studio. 

At Buechner's Vitrix Studio, visiting artists such as Lino Tagliapietra and Fritz Dreisbach imparted their knowledge and influenced his craft.  Kelly eventually took over Vitrix around 1995.
