Ira Lujan, who began working in glass in 2000, was introduced to Robert "Spooner" Marcus at Taos Glass Arts and Education, where he learned to blow glass and began to work collaboratively with a number of other Native artists including Marcus and Tony Jojola. Marcus, who describes his introduction to glassmaking as "serendipity," was first introduced to glass casting after he was hired shortly after graduating high school as a production assistant at the Glass Improvement Studio in Española, NM. Like Tammy Garcia, Marcus and Lujan each share a background in traditional Pueblo pottery, which continues to inform their work with glass today (Chambers, pp. 58-65 and 81-85).
