Beautiful greens and blues swirl together in this 3/8's inch thick piece. Forming this bowl requires modifications to the molds - leaving us with a one-of-a-kind "live edge" vessel.

Thick, organic, deep and bright.

 I build or alter each mold depending on the moment - but it's the weight of the two thick layers of re-purposed glass along with the texture that gives it a special "hand". 

Upcycled glass from a cabin on Tahoe's North Shore.

Oxides and enamels

This Bowl was created with 3 separate sheets of salvaged glass = 3/8" thick. I fired three pieces of glass together and the depths of those layers are beautiful. Decorated with oxides. 

This piece is on display at Gallery 5380' in downtown Truckee, Ca.

The layering of the embossed textures flowing into patterns creates a gentle feeling of movement. It's peaceful.

This bowl is "crossing over" from the "Utilitarian" to the "Scuptural". It's true!

 I build or alter each mold depending on the moment - but it is the weight of the re-purposed glass cpmbined with the texture that gives it the "hand". 

Enamels and oxides.

Thick, wavey, swirling.

 This bowl is approaching the "Scuptural".

It invites you in.
