This hand raked fused glass platter was a parting gift for a valued employee after years of service. The client asked that the design combine elements of both the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii. Mount Hood anchors the background while red ginger, `illima and plumeria are featured in the foreground. The raking gives the glass a painterly feel. The platter has a slight rise on both ends for a modern look. It is food safe and should be hand washed. Not for use in the microwave.

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 Baptismal Font: Zion Lutheran Church, Hartford City, IndianaEvery step of the way, Michelle helped us design a wonderful new font for our congregation. Her communication was clear and consistent, with pictures. When she had questions, she did not hesitate to ask them. She did a masterful job incorporating some of our current artwork (our stained glass windows) into this new piece. When the piece arrived, it exceeded my expectations with its beautiful use of raked glass on top and opaque glass on the bottom. I highly recommend this maker. Five stars all the way.

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!

For Brent's Stained Glass WindowI purchased an amazing stained glass window, at no additional charge I learned about the process of designing and then making a stained glass window. Michelle is very patient and fun to work with.

For Table Sculpture Of Fused Glass - I Luna, Up AboveI was extremely pleased with the final peice. She was very professional. In the beginning I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but she gave me suggestions and guided me throughout the project. I got to see how the peice looked like from the time she started, the middle, until the very end of the project. The final peice was well wrapped and neat once it had arrived to my home. The peice was very detailed and breath taking. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to have a customize table sculpture.
