We create hand-made cast glass works. Using the age-old technique of lost wax casting. We craft forms ranging in shape from jewel-like elements to large sculptural pieces. Our work, which is featured in settings ranging from private gardens to urban spaces, blends industrial gear and traditional bead forms. By combing the creative talents of our team, we meld fragility and solidity, transparency and opacity, and visual and tactile beauty.
