About Momka:
Momka Peeva, a founding member of Glass Alchemy, consulted with Northstar on their bright colors, and was also a founding member of Pacific Borosilicate, now has her own factory producing all of her standard colors with new and improved formulas as well as a palette of new creative colors and designs. Momka Peeva has been creating glass for over 37 years. After graduating in glass chemistry from The Chemistry and Technology University in Sofla, Bulgaria Momka was a research engineer, a glass technology manager, and Director of The Glass Technology Institute in Bulgaria. She wrote the leading glass text book in Bulgaria which is used in the technical school she graduated from. Before coming to America, Momka Peeva was a glass technology consultant for a number of European glass companies. The new factory is producing borosilicate transparent and opaque colors in the blue, red, yellow, purple, orange, green, brown ranges plus black. New on the horizon will be opaque and opal white, metallic luster, deep rich purple, and more multi colored rods plus a few outrageous ideas the company has yet to work out the color formulas for. Some time next year Momka hopes to be branching into the soft glass world. But, first she would like to complete the spectrum of borosilicate colors. All colors are tested by independent glass artists.
