Nature as Our Muse

From the soft hues of a sunrise to the vibrant palette of a blooming garden, nature offers endless inspiration for our art. Whether it’s a walk in the woods, a day at the beach, or time spent in our gardens, these moments of connection with nature fuel our creativity. Our fused glass art reflects the natural elements around us earth, water, air, and fire capturing the essence of these elements in each piece. We hope to offer others a way to bring the calming energy of nature into their homes.

Translating Nature into Glass

Creating fused glass art involves selecting the right colors and textures to evoke the natural element we wish to portray. The process begins with careful selection of colors, whether it’s the cool blues of a mountain lake, the rich greens of a forest, or the fiery reds of a sunset. Once chosen, we cut and arrange the glass, layering it to create depth and dimension. This arrangement is like a puzzle, with each piece fitting together to form a cohesive whole.

The final step is firing the glass in a kiln. The heat fuses the layers, melting the edges and creating a smooth, finished piece. The firing process is always a bit unpredictable, with each piece taking on a life of its own in the kiln. This unpredictability is what makes fused glass so exciting, no two pieces are ever exactly alike, just as no two moments in nature are the same.

Bringing the Outdoors In

One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is seeing how our art can transform a space. Fused glass has a unique ability to bring the outdoors in, filling a room with the colors and energy of nature. Whether it’s a wall hanging that captures the serene beauty of a forest, a bowl that evokes the movement of the ocean, or a sun catcher that reflects the colors of a sunset, our pieces are designed to bring a touch of nature into your home.

Bringing the outdoors in is more than just a design choice, it’s a way to reconnect with the natural world, even when you’re indoors. Our fused glass art offers a way to pause and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, inviting that beauty into our daily lives.

A Celebration of the Seasons

Nature’s beauty is ever-changing, with each season offering its own unique splendor. This seasonal cycle is a constant source of inspiration for our art. In spring, we are inspired by fresh greens and vibrant blooms, summer brings the warmth of the sun and the lush abundance of the earth, autumn’s rich reds, oranges, and yellows remind us of the beauty of change, and even winter, with its stark beauty and subtle hues, offers inspiration for pieces that capture the quiet, reflective side of nature.

Our seasonal collections celebrate this cycle, offering pieces that reflect the colors and moods of each season. These pieces are a reminder of the passage of time, the rhythm of nature, and the beauty that comes with each new season.
