Latest Glass



My latest glass is a two piece combination of a deep bowl and a large platter. The bowl is 7" high X 9" diameter, the platter is 22" square and 1" deep. The glass is a "Curious" glass, only five sheets of this glass were made and I was able to get four of the sheets. The two colors are French Vanilla and Khaki. The neat thing about "Curious " glass is that it will most likely never be made again because it is left over glass from standard production runs.

I am participating in Portland Open Studios this year. There are about 100 artists in the Portland area that will open their studios for the weekends of Oct. 9&10, and the 16th and 17th. You can visit their studios and talk to them about their art and see their recent work.
This is my work at the studio I work and teach at, Aquila Glass in Portland Oregon.

Sharon has named it Hammerhead Dinnerware because she had to hand hammer sheet glass into frit [pieces of glass].
