NOEL R LAUE Born on November 14, 1956, in Los Angeles, California Raised in San Diego County, California MASTER STAINED GLASS ARTIST 1975-PRESENT MASTER GLASS BLOWER 1980- PRESENT Noel’s entrance into Art Glass began in 1975 with the creation of stained glass windows and lamps. In 1980 he began to studying “Off Hand Glass Blowing” at Palomar College, San Diego, CA In 1984 a class in “Chemical Formulation for Studio Glass” at Alfred University , NY, this gave him the excitement for experimentation on a new level. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe to research formulas, techniques and the history of glass making. In 1997, he was asked to pass on his knowledge by teaching at the University California San Diego. In 1996 he would have to disassemble his glass blowing studio from the west of Highway 15 to his new home in Valley Center. The last time he would blow glass would be 1999, He blows for apx 3 months and he takes a few years to do all of the finishing work on his beautiful pieces. 9/11 would change things for Noel, more than half of his galleries would close their doors, with that he decided to put his glass away and go into Real Estate to support his family. Sadly at the time he was ready to go back and work on his art, he had a stroke on April 1, 2008, leaving him paralyzed and unable to talk. That has not stopped him from being an artist. In 2015 Noel started to take different styles of painting, pastels, water color, oils and now acrylics. In 2018 He received two honorable mentions at the Orange County Fair. This was the only time he has shared his paintings.
