Designer Watches by Linda Shull

The ancient technique of metals  fused with glass is exemplified by Charlton Glass in the first ten (10) left hand photos. Copper sheets are sandwiched between glass. Once this composition is fused in a high temperature kiln, the metal chemically changes. The copper oxidizes to especially provide an astounding spectrum of colors and patterns making each piece entirely unique.

















No photo can do this artform justice! This is the work of well known textile artist & designer, Aviva Stanoff. These vases are adorned with an original silk screened image created on fine Japanese rice paper. The drawing is enhanced with gold or silver leaf and fabulous irridescent pigments. The embellished paper is laminated onto the glass and protected with numerous layers of lacquer. A stunning celebration of Tranquility!












We offer an incredible array of watches with bands hand made from dichroic glass, by Linda Shull. The dichroic glass is first created by fusing "ribbons" or strands of oxidized metals with glass at high temperatures several times in a kiln. Then the watch band is shaped. The resulting spectrum of colors that change depending on the light conditions is spectacular! Several colors and designs are available and will always be on display.
