Ann Marie is very proud of how the glaze turned out on these ceramic wall art pieces—it is hard to get a nice rainbow ombré with glaze. She sculpted them, used her fingerprint for the pattern, fired them, glazed them, and fired them again.

Alice transformed this unpainted wooden cabinet into a finished gray and apricot color with furniture transfers.

Monica adds this baby bunting to her collection. She made it last year for her daughter to keep her warm over the winter after she was born. Knitting helps Monica to relax, so this was a great project to work on while pregnant.

This featured piece is a favorite of Courtney’s as it demonstrates the influence of light and how it affects the way glass can be observed, interpreted, and experienced. When the light source is above, you see the opaque coloring and design pattern. When the light source is behind the glass, it allows you to see the darker, translucent undertones within the pattern. The shadow provides an additional experience for the viewer and creative expression for the artist.
