John Miller
Sculpture

John Miller Sculpture John Miller describes his work as reflecting, “both a love of the immediacy of the glass material and a respect for its demanding properties.” Always interested in pushing the medium to its limits, his work “is about control and proportion as much as it is about finding new textures and forms.” Miller’s roots are in the traditional Venetian style of glass blowing, and for the past 16 years he has explored various ways of transforming the vessel form into sculpture. Informed by the scale and humor of Pop Art, his most recent installations incorporate recognizable objects including various diner foods and accoutrements.

Karen Story
Tiles

Karen Story Tiles A native Oregonian, Karen Story runs her glass studio in the hills of Southwest Portland. Working on an experimental home project in 1996, she inadvertently developed the first fused glass line of accent tiles using geometric shapes in the US. The brightly colored jewels caught the eye of decorators and designers, and soon she had a busy company, supplying her tiles to customers across America and abroad. An innovative designer, Karen has regularly added new color systems, shapes, and designs to her line. She is able to do custom designs, using client’s existing decor or color favorites as inspiration.

Mark Sigafoos
Sinks

Mark Sigafoos Sinks Each piece Mark creates is a unique exploration of imagination, color and shape. Mark loves the fluid motion in glassblowing and the endless possibilities of art to create. Nature has been his inspiration for most of his sculptures, as well as many of Mark's other glass pieces.
Mark Sigafoos is a native of Tacoma, Washington. Because glass is so abundant in this area Mark had always been attracted to the art form.
