My glass art is made primarily off old glass. I don’t say recycled because it’s not recycled yet, I am recycling it. Much of the large sheet glass material is collected from old compromised, no longer sealed, thermal pane windows. Other sources may be windshields, old single pane windows, wine & beer bottles, wine glasses old glass bottles (best colors). Working this type of glass is very messy, lots of debris , dangerous, and much sharp breakage. Old glass is moody, unpredictable and sometimes very difficult but like any thing with that description, when it works it is fantastic. Old glass lends and organic hue and natural feel to each piece that many specific art and new glasses lack. It is a different and unique beauty.

As glass has appealed to all since the Egyptians, so now it appeals to our need for shape in the modern space. Some people can see the problem with your computer, some can see how to build a house or fix your plumbing. I can see what you can put in your house with my glass that would make a wall or table space beautiful. I can’t sit in any space without picturing what I could do with it. Glass found me way to do that.

But, people are truly the designers. You know what colors you like, what shapes you want and sometimes where you want something. From solid object to bent shapes, glass can compliment any space.

By fitting what I see in the glass to it’s environment, the accent is found.
My art glass absorbs what you want, mixes with a little kiln creativity and becomes a completely personal piece.
