About my artwork
My flamework glass sculptures and jewelry are made with Pyrex (borosolicate) glass rods. The pieces are sculpted in an oxygen/ propane flame, and trimmed with 22kt gold. All pieces are delicate, but durable, one-of-a-kind designs that are set in natural corals, shells, and stones that represent the local area.
