This piece is an adaptation of the corporate logo for the Allegheny Regional Asset District's office in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The sunburst is made of kiln formed art glass and measures approximately 48" in diameter. The "Works Here" element is plasma cut 7"x30"x1/8" steel with a brushed finish and clear coat. All the elements are mounted on 3/4" standoffs, affixed to the drywall with screws and anchors.

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.
