Art glass can be created in a multitude of shapes and can incorporate color through a wide range of techniques. These handmade items can be cast with the use of molds for shaping, and the artist can use a Batik technique to produce decorative bubbles.
We also feature baskets woven from rattan and pine needles and handturned wooden pens and kitchen accessories.

Unique Firing Techniques. Custom Glazes and Shapes
Each of our ceramic artists, utilizes different clay bodies, glaze applications, and firing techniques. Some of the pieces available are hand built, stamped, and molded to create items like dishes, wall hangings, decorative and functional dishes, and sculpture. Our other ceramicists work at the potter’s wheel, and throw bowls, vases, plates, mugs, and dishes. Much of the work we create is high fired in a gas kiln, leaving a finish that is food-safe and can be put the oven, dishwasher, and microwave. We also have artists that specialize in aesthetic pieces, and practice Raku firing, a Japanese firing technique that produces a unique and unpredictable blackened, metallic, or crackled finish.
