'Firepolished' is the term used to describe the way processed glass regains its luster in the firing process. After shaping, cleansing, and hours of careful firing to nearly 1500 F; a piece that was scratched, shattered, and cloudy will emerge glossy, purified, and far more beautiful than before. My work is a symbol of the beauty and character we gain in the fires of life and should be enjoyed as an encouragement of the change to come. Much of my work is inspired by spiritual and natural beauty.
Welcome! I am completely reworking this site. Come back soon to see a new gallery, custom order sampler, meaning archive, and to learn about the process! I work in a variety of glassworking methods including coldworking, kilnforming, casting, patte de verre, sandcarving, and photo emulsion to create glassware, sculptures, jewelry, windows, mosaics and more. Everything has been lovingly made using only certified compatible glass, high quality slumping molds, and slow annealing times to ensure longevity.
I specialize in custom, unique art glass pieces and jewelry.
Please feel free to request anything! The possibilites are truly endless.
For now, you can still shop in my online store. If the shop says it is on vacation I am at my fall conference. Come back soon for a fall sale! |
