Glass

Curtiss Brock
"Where there's smoke, there's fire, and where there's fire, there is potential for glass. Where there is glass, there is light. Where glass and light meet, you may find magic." An established glass artist with work in over twenty-five museum collections around the world, Curtiss Brock founded CB Glass as a vehicle for developing limited edition blown glass pieces that focus on function and the originality of design. He challenges himself as a craftsman and a designer to create beautiful unique pieces.

Kathleen Krucoff
Kathleen's love of glass started during her childhood with her fascination of the beautiful stained glass windows in the churches of her hometown. In 1982, she had the opportunity to learn the technique of making stained glass windows. Today, she create her own designs for stained glass windows, primarily from her husband’s photography of nature. She works in copper foil and lead, sometimes combining both in a piece when calls for it. Recently, she began creating of cabochons for jewelry, primarily using Dichroic glass. Designing glass jewelry has opened the delicate art of wire wrapping for her, which allows her to create even more unique and distinctive pieces.

Shepardson Studios
Marianne Shepardson's fused glass tableware features abstract and geometric designs as well as flowers, dragonflies and fish motifs. Most pieces feature a matte-finish iridized glass, which is permanent and safe for food. The pieces are created by cutting and piecing together a variety of colors of sheet glasses. All cutting is done by hand, and then the pieces are assembled and fused together in the kiln. "I have been working with glass since 1994, having come to it as a natural extension of my background in interior and architectural design. Prior to that I had also been a woodworker, and had been building wood and glass light fixtures, which sparked my interest in fused glass as an artistic medium. I appreciate and am continually challenged by kiln-fired glass, for all its' varied aesthetic qualities, as well as the many technical considerations it presents."

Gazelle Glass
Gazelle Glass is a small company located in the farmland foothills of Philomath, Oregon. Their glass is popular because the products are high quality, affordable and all hand-blown. There are no items blown into molds. Gazelle primarily uses borosilicate glass, more commonly known as Pyrex. Colors are added in lines or dots of colored cane, most of which are made in-house. Transparent colors, like yellow, bright pink and coral, are made by fusing metals—silver, 24k gold and copper—onto the glass with the torch’s heat. The caps are made of chrome-plated brass and are heated to create many different colors and are resistant to corrosion, even from salt. We think you'll agree their one-of-a-kind pieces of functional art are worthy of being passed from generation to generation.

Iridescent Dreams Glass Art
Iridescent Dreams jewelry is handmade and one of a kind. Each individually made piece contains carefully selected, highest quality fusible art glass and dichroic glass. Iridescent Dreams Glass Art is a family run business started by Lauren in the summer of 2004. We create all the glass in our studio in Huntington Beach, California. We hope you enjoy our glass items as much as we enjoyed making them.

Sleepin' Dog Glass
Sleepin' Dog is the Greensboro, North Carolina-based studio of Nancy Greever Brooks, who has degrees from Mary Baldwin College and SUNY-Buffalo and has studied at the world-renowned Penland School of Crafts.Nancy brings her interests in anthropology, art history, and painting to her fused glass creations. In the studio, she is kept good company by Potus, Bacchus, and Red Dog - who are often her "sleepin' dogs." “I have always believed that art is a means to an end—a way for the individual to convey almost any message…in my case the message is communicated via glass, silver and the occasional odd item. I think that a need to make or appreciate art is a universal element in the human character and that need is potentially one of its healthiest attributes. I am lucky enough to have discovered this activity that not only gives me great joy and satisfaction, but has been a conduit to an entire life style.”
