This large platter was created using pieces of hand raked glass. Once I had raked the glass, the pieces were cut to fit and assembled on a clear blank and fused again. The final piece was slumped using a mold to give the edges a gentle lift. Approximate dimensions: 18" x 18".

I create custom stained glass windows and fused glass art work with unique designs and handcrafted excellence. My passion for glass germinated in the cathedrals of France, developed roots in Hawai`i and is now branching out in Oregon. Commissioning artwork is very rewarding. The result is a piece of art to which you have a uniquely personal connection. Your involvement in the process can range from a general idea of the design or purpose of the piece to an ongoing conversation as we develop a design that expresses your voice. Your satisfaction is always my primary goal. Finding the perfect gift is time well spent when you give a quality handmade item that brings joy to the person who receives it. In addition to commission work, I create ready-to-purchase boutique items each of which is unique. From fused glass sculptures that bring new energy into a space, fused glass table ware for that special occasion, to personal items for the office and library, or one of a kind jewelry, you'll find your next piece to gift or treasure at Caron Art Glass.
Neil Waxman
For Neil's GlassworkMichelle is the consumate artist/professional. She took us from a concept of what we were thinking to finished product by educating us on the different means of producing the glass art panels she created for us. We provided her with a picture from South American, which she use to create two raked panels, which we will mount and back light. She took the time to find out what we wanted and helped us define it. She sent progress reports with pictures as the panels were created. She sought our feedback throughout. The finished panels are stunning, and will be a wonderful reminder of our travels to South America. I recommend Michelle and her work with the great enthusiasm.

For Table Sculpture Of Fused Glass - I Luna, Up AboveThis maker (creator) of my project was wonderful to work with. We had a tight timeline and she made everything easy and had great ideas to add. This was a gift for the founder of our company who was retiring. I received photo updates as the project advanced. Everything went perfect and the item was a big hit for all!

She is timely and meets deadlines punctually. Furthermore, she communicates after the item has been received to make sure I am happy with her product.

For Holy spirt windowI submitted an idea I had for a stained glass window on CustomMade's website. I had no idea what to expect as I had never used the service before. I had a number of artists reach out to me wanting to work with me on my project. When Michelle reach out to me, immediately I knew she was different than the rest. She was humble, genuinely interested in making my project unique and asked all of the right questions. The stained glass window I was requesting to be created was a gift for my mother. Michelle wanted to know all about my ideas and wanted to know all about my mother. She took all of the information I provided and created a beautiful one of a kind piece that flows together. She sketched the design in flawless detail and we went back and forth over minor modifications. Michelle was very patient and understanding through the design process. During the assembly phase, she took the time to provide me with pictures and explanations of the process. Michelle works with speed and efficiency but does not compromise on quality and craftsmanship. My mother now has her stained glass window that she will treasure for a lifetime. I highly encourage anyone in the market for a custom piece to contact Michelle, she will exceed your expectations.
