Laura Wellman, Artisan
Working in fused glass is both
an adventure and calling for me...I love the bold colors of dichroic
glass, and gravitated to it the first time I saw it. In designing my
abstract bottle stoppers, I delight in trying new combinations
of transparent, opaque, and dichroic glass. I never know what is going
to come out of the kiln! I feel so blessed to be able to create beautiful
and useful things for a living, and it brings me a lot of satisfaction
to know how much people are enjoying my art.
My dichroic pieces integrate both transparent and opaque glass, sometimes as many as five layers. Fusing the glass at 1400°, I usually take the piece through a second firing for a polished look. I recently added wire-wrapping to some of my pendants, with my goal being to create truly unique dichroic jewelry. All my accessories are nickel-plated except for the bottle stoppers, which have a stainless stopper bottom. Throughout the entire process, I strive to create the highest quality product, and I stand behind every WellmanGlass piece I make.
