"Can you make..." sure we can! You bring the idea, and I'll do the rest. I'll be upfront and honest as to whether I feel it'll work, how we can make it work if it won't, and how we can make the best possible piece, together.

  • Memento Jar:<br /> <br /> Memento Jars are made to hold a small piece of a precious memory, reminding us of them each day in a tasteful, personalized way. This one, which contains a clipping of fur from a favourite pet now passed, is made with a perfume bottle cap and is coated in pure silver leaf.
  • Custom Colours:<br /> <br /> Most pieces can be made in almost any combination of shape and colour. For example, this vase was made for a client with specific instructions: Ivory as the base, then white, black, a dab of apricot and then the smallest dab of blue - and let them all mix naturally, organically, throughout the piece as it's sculpted. The client gave me the exact percentages he wanted of each colour, and I was honoured to learn what each meant to him. This vase is what we made, together, and you and I can do the same.

  • Kritters: Have a crazy idea for an animal you want to see in glass? The Kritters are some of the funnest design projects i do, taking two (or more!) animals and combining them to form something completely unique. Pictured: Porcupine + Tortoise = Porkutort <a href="/Glass/Kritters/"> <span class="myEmail">Click here to see other Kritters that I have made</span></a>
  • The "What If..." Bowl:<br /> <br /> Sometimes in the course of my day in the hot shop there'll be a moment - found in the movement of the glass, the mixing of colours - that'll make me pause and think: "what if..." and suddenly I'll be following that train of thought and working on a brand new piece, one I've never made before, one I'm not quite sure how it'll turn out.<br /> <br /> Some of these pieces are worthwhile, others teach me a lesson in humility. Sometimes a piece will be unique enough that I'll tentatively put it in my gallery, nervous as to the reaction... but curious, as well. Sometimes it'll stay there, as I grow accustomed to the piece and find I'm rather proud of it. Other times it'll find a place in the back room to gather dust as a lesson in technique.<br /> <br /> This bowl is an example of one such piece. Coloured so that the interior has classic, early 20th century tones, while the exterior bursts in deep rich colour, it's a piece that belongs to two eras, and one which will hold a place of uniqueness in my gallery - until the next time I see something unexpected in the glass.
