People often ask if my vases are blown glass. They aren't—but I completely understand why they ask. Each begins as a carefully designed piece of kiln-formed glass, which I elevate in the kiln and allow heat and gravity to transform it into its fluid, organic shape.
After the firing, I remove the spent glass, polish the rim, and sandblast the surface to create that distinctive velvety finish. One final trip through the kiln seals the finish, making it beautifully resistant to fingerprints.
The result? A vase that's part design, part craftsmanship, and part happy accident. Each one is made one at a time, so no two are exactly alike. Most stand approximately 8 inches tall and look equally fabulous empty or filled with flowers.
