Glass & Grass
Process
I design my patterns with procreate and adobe illustrator and then print them on vinyl to get a perfect shape for my glass to fit together.
Then I use a combination of tiffany style copper foil and leaded solder to connect the pieces of glass and to get the details and design in my pieces.
Finally after the individual pieces of glass are soldered I patina the silver solder if wanted and finish with a wax.
About Me
Hiya! my name is Kate, I started breaking glass in 2023 with no prior experience. I was looking for a creative outlet after the passing of my mother. I jumped in very quickly and before soon I was renovating my entire basement, changing my career and glass took over my entire life. I now sell my work at Black Cat Bodega in Grand Rapids Michigan, and occasionally do markets in the area, and custom pieces.
When I am not in my basement listening to audiobooks and making glass pieces, you can find me taking care of my many pets and taking endless photos.
