I've always been a crafty person, partly due to the environment I was brought up in. My mother is an artist and encouraged me to explore my creative side at a very young age. It wasn't until recently that I decided to devote more time towards my art because I love it and it makes me happy.
Painting glassware has provided me with the perfect creative outlet and I'm excited to see where it takes me. My goal as an artist is to produce inspiring and stylish product. |

I never dreamed that when I learned some basic painting techniques several years ago that it would bloom into a thriving business with my work finding its way into homes all around the world. I know the importance of surrounding yourself with things that just make you smile--a storehouse for those days when life throws that curveball at you. For this reason, it's important to me that each piece I paint for you is treated as if it were going to be used in my own home. |

Dayton started in the industry many years ago working for a high end jewelry manufacturer in his hometown and glassblowing mecca; Ashland, Oregon. Years later, his business was formed and he began producing quality jewelry and selling to customers and retail shops around the globe.
Dayton strives to make every piece desirable and practical, straying away from the typical idea of glass jewelry, which has been seen in the form of “chunky” or “hippie” and instead taking it to a new level of quality. |

I have discovered a love for all things glass. I started making stained glass seven years ago and then I discovered fused glass. I have been making fused glass for 2 years and the addiction to glass grows. I like making everything from small soap dishes to pictures in fused glass and candle holders to large pieces in stained glass. I also like to incorporate fused glass in my stained glass. Glass has a life of it's own and I hope to be able to share it with you. |

My introduction to glassblowing began with a simple, well thought out approach. I started with an electrical engineering degree, switched to liberal arts, dropped out and became a carpenter's apprentice. His crew poured the floor of a glass shop. I got laid off and started sweeping the aforementioned floor. I later got the opportunity to by into the shop and the rest as they say is history. A simple, well planned career path… ummm right… |

Ever since visiting the Victorian and Albert Museum in London I've been in love with functional art. My artistic career started out in traditional canvas painting. For decades I worked in oils and watercolors. I painted hundreds of traditional canvas paintings by the time I received my degree in Fine Arts in 2003 under the teachings of the President of the World's Archeology Foundation and an incredible painter himself with two pieces displayed in the Lourve. |

Painting on crystal stemware is just the latest medium for me. I've been doing something arts and crafts related since I was 9 years old and my mother taught me how to embroider. By the time I was 25 I had won several awards for my crewel embroidery pieces. When I became a mother I had no time to create anything other than a couple of humans with good hearts and characters. |

In Steena's earlier years working with glass she would make tiny "dots" and small pattern bars, which she used as the centerpiece of embellishment on solid transparent glass. All pieces featured by Steena Fuller Anderson are made in her home studio in Seattle Washington.
Her handmade trays, platters, and bowls make lovely centerpieces for any room in your home or office. All glass by Steena Anderson is safe for serving food. We recommend gentle hand washing. |

Steve's fascination with glass art led him to apprentice to a friend in 1998. Since that time, most of his learning has come from trial and error, books, magazines and videos. In 2008 Steve attended a class on floral marbles at the Eugene School of Glass in Oregon.
One thing that Steve tries to balance in his art is beauty and functionality. Most everything he makes not only showcases glass's translucent qualities, but also serves a purpose around the home or office.
Steve currently lives in Oregon with his wife, two sons and his hound dog. |
