The Blown Glass Space Collection

Give Me Some Space! Many of our friends, colleagues and visitors to our blogs and websites are Space Buffs.

If You Want It Done Right….

You do it yourself. Yes indeed, this is the bane of most self employed people, especially artists. We work in such different media that we can't just hire a guy off the street to do sections without it costing more time and energy than if we just did it ourselves. Plus, most people running their own company have a higher set of standards than someone who gets hired. Not saying there aren't extremely hard working hires out there,

Branching Out into Pendant Necklaces

Recently, and from multiple sources, I've gotten urged to use our glass work in jewelry. So I did a little research online to see what type of glass jewelry was already out there.
