Craft Description: I create mosaic housewares, accessories, giftware: clocks, jars, lamps, photo frames, bookends, boxes, etc.
I’ve always appreciated designer William Morris’s advice to “have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” I try to meet both of Mr. Morris’s criteria with my work: everything I make is at least nominally functional; nothing is purely decorative.
I’ve also always liked shopping at secondhand stores and flea markets for interesting objects that can be refurbished and given a second life. My mosaic craft gives me a wonderful excuse to “go thrifting” in search of my next project.
Just about everything I start with receives some amount of repainting, refinishing, repairing, or rebuilding as well as reimagining.
I prefer stained glass tile because of its flexibility and its range of colors and finishes. I also use vitreous glass and ceramic tiles, and am experimenting with pique assiette, custom-made polymer clay tile, and found objects.
Sourcing my “raw materials” from the secondary market means that my product line is unpredictable and that my pieces are typically unique. If you see something you like, buy it! I may never have another one.
