I’ve always called my grandmother the queen of recycling, she never throws anything away! She was born and raised in the early 1900’s living a resourceful life, mostly out of necessity and influenced by the great depression. As a child she would gather the cotton string after the tobacco harvest to crochet into doll clothes, finding purpose for items that most people throw away, so I guess I come by it naturally. I love glass and I love working with the heat of the torch and when I thought to start making bottles into glasses and pouring vessels I felt I had found my purpose with glass! I hope you enjoy these drinking glasses. They are all made from 100% recycled glass, either found by me or saved by thoughtful friends. I create in my studio nestled in Northern Chatham County on what I call Hexapoda Farm….
