One Bird, Many Forms

A Signature Silhouette

Calvin Mickle works as CalM and Calmbo Glass, and his birds are what collectors know him for. The figure carries across rigs, dry pieces, pendants, and accessories — standing, perched, or worked into a marble.

Functional and Collectible

The range spans working rigs and dry pieces through pendants, marbles, slides, and joint tips. Pieces meant to be used and pieces meant to be kept, from the same hand.

Out of Denver

Calmbo works in Denver, Colorado, one of the country's central hubs for American heady glass, and his pieces are carried by heady galleries nationally.

One Figure, Many Forms

The bird runs through Calmbo's work — standing, perched, locked, or worked into a marble or a pendant. That consistency is what makes a Calmbo recognizable and what makes collecting him a matter of gathering variations rather than unrelated pieces.

Built to Collaborate

Calmbo's work regularly appears as collaborations, including pieces made with KGB and Coyle. Collab pieces carry both artists' hands and exist in smaller numbers than solo work, which is part of why they move quickly.
