STAINED GLASS & ART GLASS

ALASKA
WARM SPRINGS BAY
SEA GLASS and OTHER TREASURES
I make free form glass sculptures with lead free solder and recycled
materials. My treasures come from mining townsites,beaches and scuba diving
abandoned cannery sites. Age's of the glass and other treasures date from
the 1800's on. Tossed from passenger ships, forgotten at the mines and
abandoned at bordellos, I use the broken leftovers of pioneers that passed
through Alaska. I make hanging Sun Catchers and Standing Sculptures.
