Fused glass objets d’art, tableware and traditional
Tiffany-style window panels
Laura’s work is inspired by the
natural environs of her home with its many windows that
open onto the lush, surrounding forest. Richly-coloured
window panels and table centrepieces in beautiful
stained glass, constructed using the traditional copper
foil and solder techniques, have comprised her body of
work for several years. These pieces continue to evolve
with a primary focus on natural, organic shapes and
images. Last fall, Laura added fused glass - also
called warm glass - to her offerings with the purchase
of a glass kiln. Though she will continue to
incorporate cold glass methods in her artwork, fused
glass will be prominent in her collection for the near
future.

Stunning landscape, nature and architecture
photographs.
Elizabeth is
inspired by the muted colours and gentle landscapes of
southern Ontario, and by the monumental beauty of the
American Southwest. She also has a passion for
architecture, urban scenes, both ancient and modern
signs and symbols, and idiosyncratic visual
juxtapositions. She makes stunning nature, landscape,
architecture and eclectic photographs, and prints on
both canvas and archival photographic paper. Elizabeth
is excited to participate for the first time this fall
in the On Common Ground Art Tour.

Many unique turnings from bottle corks to bowls
Once
again, Mel is delighted to be a participant on the
studio tour. Mel uses many different woods, domestic and
exotics, to create a multitude of shapes. With his new
lathe he can turn larger shapes including hollow or deep
turnings, bowls, vases, burr wood etc. Some items may
combine woods, for instance, vases from beautiful
domestic woods that are tipped with exotic woods such as
ebony, bleeding heart, purple heart, padauk and others.
Seldom are two items the same in size or shape.
Available woods generally dictate size, shape and
function. |
