After retiring from programming careers with IBM, Chester and Elissa looked for a community with a healthy artist community. Wimberley fit the bill, plus it was a wonderful place to live! Chester and Elissa moved to Wimberley February 2014 and opened Silo Glass Labor Day weekend.

They have over 20 years of combined experience creating glass art. After many years of collecting glass, Chester was ready to take on the role of artist. Chester loves experimenting and has created his own style and several unique techniques.
