Featured Studio
Frantic Glass
Everyone is welcome to visit this small boutique studio that doubles as a gallery space and a working studio. The Gallery will have pieces that range from small gift items from $20, to up-market, one-off, sculptural pieces that take many months to complete. All the glass pieces are made and cold worked on site, with the help of my trusty assistant, David. This is a chance to buy straight from the maker.
