Anniversary Bowl
Fused, slumped glass with vitrograph elements.
18" x 4"
This bowl was created for a 50th Wedding Anniversary gift. The bottom of the bowl has the couples name and "50th Anniversry" painted and fired on in 24 karat gold.
Yes
I hosted a class for the James Renwick Alliance taught by Colin Reid, where I created the embracing couple seen above. The piece is titled "Yes" because that is the word left in the bottom of the glass, which is an affirmation of the erotic message sandblasted on the draped glass.
Chevy Chase Elementary School
I was commissioned on a very small budget to do this graduating class gift for the newly renovated school. The kids in the windows are some of the actual students that were graduating that year.
