My work
Between colors, opacity, and textures, glass has infinite creative possibilities.
Inspired by nature's beauty and a touch of magic, I want to create everyday art pieces to bring a smile on your face and lights into your home.
Ranging from small jewelry pendants to bigger statement pieces I try to cater art to any occasion.
Copper foil method
Also known as the Tiffany method, this technique consists of wrapping each piece of glass in copper foil tape (we refer to it as foiling). Then the foiled pieces are soldered together with an alloy. Traditionaly, the alloy is made of lead. However, I have made the conscious choice to exclusively work with lead free solder.
This copper foil method was made famous by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the early 20th century.
