 | Artist: Art Tile Studio
Carol designs beautifully rich and colorful tiles and murals. Her original designs feature images of women at leisure, lovers, still lifes, flowers and garden scenes. Each tile is individually hand-painted, glazed and kiln-fired for permanence.
The tiles can be installed in backsplashes, showers, kitchens, bathrooms, fireplace surrounds and in table tops. They also make great gift items. They can also be ordered framed and ready to hang and enjoyed as a work of art.

 | Artist: Caitlin Burch Glassworks
Caitlin Burch grew up with glass. An award winning, second generation glassblower, she spent time in the studio with her mother and father from infancy. “My mother would work with me in a pack on her back, and my father would let me help him on the bench; starting when I was three or four”.
Now with two lines of work, handblown glass and lampwork jewelry, Burch is practicing both crafts. “The fact that I work in two related fields, [offhand blown glass and lampworking] has allowed me the unique and challenging opportunity to incorporate individual techniques and skills of each into the other.”

 | Artist: Penelope Wurr Glass
Penelope Wurr designs are produced in small, limited editions and one of a kind. Using a combination of sandblasting and translucent enamel overlay, Penelope creates a graphic finish more reminiscent of textiles than of glass. Her work includes tableware, bowls and vases. By commission her studio will make screens, window-glass, and tabletops. She continues to develop new techniques to meet the requirements of her far-reaching design concepts.

 | Artist: Susan Samitz Polymer Clay Jewelry & Art
My work is actually made by layering different-colored polymer clay (an acrylic modeling clay) into three-dimensional designs called "canes". I slice cross-sections of these canes revealing the intricate design within. These are hardened by heating in an oven and then incorporated into jewelry with silver and niobium wire, silk and rubber cord and vinyl coated steel. All niobium and surgical steel ear wires are completely hypo-allergenic.
