Starting from sheets and balls of glass, I hand cut and shape the glass. I then layer it in different color combinations and styles, which are then fused in a kiln. Once they come out of the kiln, they are ready to either be coldworked and fused again or to be made into jewelry.
Taking copper or sterling silver wire of various gauges, I weave, wrap, and hammer the wire to create the jewelry, forming the wire around the glass cabochons. These pieces are then put in a liver of sulfur solution to add patina. They are then polished to create highlights and low-lights, bringing out the intricacy of the wirework.
