Established in 1987, Peggy Karr Glass is the premier American design
studio of handmade, fused glass giftware. The colors are
hand-stenciled on to a layer of hand-cut glass and a second layer of
glass is then placed on top. The entire piece is placed on a mold
and kiln-fired, fusing the glass and color into one. The subtle
color variations, surface texture, and bubbles that result give
their products a distinctive, handmade appearance. Each is a
one-of-a-kind work of art. Every piece bears their signature and the
year of production. All the pieces are non-toxic and dishwasher
safe. They are even safe for microwave warming but not oven use. |

Jeanette McCall is know
for her skills in raised
relief art. Originally a
Master baker/patissier
in Toronto, Canada, she
was a consistent gold
medal winner in culinary
competitions and was
commissioned to design
one of the royal wedding
cakes for Prince Charles
and Lady Diana. She has
cleverly adapted her
skills to the pottery
market and has become a
leading exponent and
teacher in this fine
art. This art form, Tube
Lining, is the art of
adding raised relief
decoration to ceramics.
This form is very
similar to the work used
by the master artistans
who worked for Moorcroft
pottery. Each piece of
pottery is individually
tube-lined and layered
with ceramic color and
detail making each piece
unique as well as
requiring several
firings to maximize the
use of color. This
pristine colored,
detailed and subtle
brushstrokes and flowing
raised lines are the
hallmarks of Jeanette's
work. Of her art she
says: "In this computer
driven era, I want to
make pieces that people
touch and use - lively
and with feeling."
Jeanette's choice of
color, mix of form with
function, and raised
relief "piping" as she
calls it, gives her work
a special look. "That
touch of whimsy", she
says, "is the Icing on
the Cake". |
