Welcome to the Exciting World of Slump Glassware. Since 1988, I have chosen plate glass to work with because I love the cool emerald green color within it; it reminds me of tropical ocean water. The natural beauty of glass is captured when light casts a subtle glow through the textures I have created. These textures, or patterns, result from the ceramic molds which the glass slumps upon and/or free form guides that allow the glass to establish an identity of its own. Glass is considered to be a liquid that evolves from sand when using high temperatures. It then becomes the essence of the relationship between land and ocean. My "Seafoam Dinnerware Collection" captures the aftermath of an ocean wave, known as white water, as it recedes from the sandy shore. The "Bookends" or book beginnings, are the epitome of recycling. They are the corners of the squares that are leftover from the formation of the plates.I draw my inspirations from the natural lines of the oceans and the land that interacts with it.
