My line of art glass focuses on incorporation of metal within glass. The individually hand-cut metals are fused between layers of glass to form functional pieces of art. The 1500-degree firing process turns the end design into unique, fiery images. The result of the eighteen-hour heating and cooling cycle is a durable, yet beautiful piece of glass art. The addition of custom iron work and accents of live edge wood provide a wide scope of application and design potential throughout the line.
