Q&A with the Artist

Tell us how your work is made.

All glass is hand-blown in our studio. Finishing such as cutting, drilling, grinding, and polishing is done here as well. All of the bent metalwork is formed in the studio and composed and welded. Metalwork is sent out to be powder-coated. All the wiring is done in-house.


What makes you passionate about the medium you work with?

Hot glass is exciting and challenging to work with. The colors obtainable are absolutely brilliant and fabulous. We have found no limit to the sheer number of combinations of colors and patterns conceivable. There is a total joy when completing a piece with gorgeous color and form.
