Custom Made Glass Tiles For Kitchen Backsplash
I made this custom glass tile composition for a cozy Pittsburgh home in 2014. The base glass is Bullseye Glass's driftwood grey. I used the new powder printing technique in which powdered colored glass is pushed through a prepared screen, creating the composition on the base glass. The whole piece is then fused together in the kiln at 1400 degrees. The beauty of my technique is that it offers nearly limitless possibility in design creation and ease of production. Turn around time is dependent on scale of the project and scope of the design.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I make handmade, kiln formed decorative art glass for commercial and home uses. I offer a wholesale line of tableware and interior lighting, as well as custom lighting, tile installations, and unique architectural elements.
I primarily use a glass making process called powder printing. An adaptation of screen printing, powder printing also employs the use of screens and photosensitive emulsion, but instead of pushing ink on to paper, I push powdered colored glass onto layers of sheet glass which is then fused together in the kiln. The glass pieces are then trimmed and mounted as tiles or set up over ceramic and metal molds and slumped into forms for lighting or tableware. I also create my own slumping molds, fabricate lighting armatures, and build my own kilns and other equipment.
