Recycled Glass Sculptures
These pieces are all part of a recycled glass series of sculptures that were created re-using various types of bottles such as beer, water, soft drinks etc. Artist Lourdes Torgersen creates these pieces in her Houston Studio by adding micas, enamels, and metal embellishments inside each bottle and fusing them in a kiln at 1500F for about 20 hours before she reaches these results. Optimistically this art will bring some awareness to our daily shopping choices. I hope you enjoy!

Great service

Handmade fused glass works will add that special touch to any of your projects, both for decoration (home décor) and architectural details (windows, doors, table tops, murals, panels, etc.). So when you have a need for customized glasswork, I hope you’ll consider me as the artist.
My proposition is to work hand in hand with all involved on the project in order to achieve the most appropriate combination of styles with one of a kind custom glass handcrafted pieces. I’d love to be part of your project, which would offer me the opportunity of revealing some of my capabilities, along with creativity and background experience.
Due to its unique properties, glass continues to be an intriguing material that can reflect, transmit or absorb light. It creates a surprise element, which will bring eclectic interest to a space without becoming overbearing.
Inspired by a passion for glass, I will work with you to achieve fully customized pieces to meet your needs, from classic to contemporary, using subtle or exotic colors to add a striking touch.
