Doug Randall has been working with glass for four decades and currently owns and operates his own studio, Small Planet Glass, in Portland, Oregon. He creates his fused glass artworks by cutting and arranging colored glass into patterns and fusing them in a kiln. After it cools, the fused glass sheet is placed over a mold and put back in the kiln, where gravity causes the glass to slump into the shaped mold. After it cools again, it is cut, wheel ground, edged, beveled, sandblasted, and finally polished, all by hand, before going back into the kiln for a final forming.

Randall has completed many independent commissions and exhibits his work internationally at venues such as the Creative Glass Center of America in Wheaton Village and the Sculpture Objects and Functional Art expositions.
