Fused Glass Table Sculpture: Hoe A Mau - Room For New Growth
"Hoe a mau," paddle together, is an important concept in Hawaii meaning to make the most of each contributor's strength. This piece explores the action of lava as it spills down the mountain into the sea, effectively creating new land. As I was working on this piece, the kiln carving of the surging lava made me think of heaving sobs from a child who is coming to terms with a new reality- growing up. The parent can only offer the space for this new growth. This piece makes a unique table sculpture that transmits and reflects the ambient light in the room. Each viewing angle offers a new vista. Approximate dimensions: 9.5" D x 13" W x 6" H

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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.

For Jay's Art & Music5.0This project was a little “off the cuff”…just an idea we had. We didn’t really know what we wanted. Our original thought was a 3-D type of metal statue but Michelle came in with a slightly different take and it was well received by our team. She described her design very well and sent hand drawings to further clarify her idea. We went with her ideas and we are very happy with the end piece. Her idea of kiln-carving part of the design was better than she described! When she was finished, she sent the statue and a personal check since she over estimated the shipping! Honestly, I think her price was TOO INEXPENSIVE for what we received. She communicated many times as the project began to develop and even checked up to make sure it was delivered. I don’t know what my next item that would need to be created is, but I would have Michelle look it over first!
