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.
