Melanie L. Cech - Sumner
GLASS SCULPTURE ARTIST

Kicking off the new year with this awesome art show that always brings out the crowds!
This festival was voted the Best Outdoor Event by the readers of Gulfshore Life Magazine and the 5th Best Art Festival in the nation by Sunshine Artists. The event is one of the largest special events in Lee County, which draws over 140,000 attendees!
Once again I'll be in the Premier Artist Area in booth #288 and part of #287. (They are giving us an extra 1/2 booth space). Located in front of the Holiday Inn Express on both sides of the median along Cape Coral Parkway, from Del Prado to SE 15th Ave, the Premier Artist Area offers a unique and distinguished experience for both artists and visitors. This exclusive section of our festival is dedicated to showcasing the exceptional talents of highly skilled artists from around the world.

My flamework glass sculptures and jewelry are made with borosilicate glass rods. The pieces are sculpted in an oxygen/propane flame, trimmed with 22kt gold. All pieces are unique, one-of-a-kind designs, with many set in natural corals, shells, and stones that represent my love for sun, sand, and sea.
