Who we are:
 We
are a Charlotte, North Carolina glass design business, dedicated
to providing custom, fused and mosaic glass products to residences,
restaurants and commercial businesses. We combine our artistic
talents and experienced glass cutting skills to produce custom
glass products with applications for kitchen backsplashes,
accent tiles, borders, cabinet panels, fireplace surrounds,
wall art and murals, furniture, table tops, backlit backsplashes
and bar fronts, vases, platters, wall sconces and other lighting
applications.
We
place great emphasis on the planning process and devote a
lot of effort to the upfront design work - usually producing
a digital design or artist rendering of the end product. We
enjoy the involvement of our clients, inviting them to come
to our design center and see their work in progress. For out
of town clients we are happy to provide periodic updates and
progress photos.
 Saundra,
an award winning water color artist, has over 35 years of
experience in the art world. She has a real eye for color
and works well pulling client colors and decorating themes
into unique glass applications. She will oftentimes prepare
a watercolor rendering of the glass project for review by
the prospective client. She was the artist responsible for
the Pen & Ink Renderings for the Spring, Charlotte Mint
Museum Home and Garden Tour 2007 & 2008. She has a thriving
business with personal home portrait watercolors, a memory
of your home in watercolor.

Following
a 25 year career as a Corporate Treasurer, Tom has dedicated
the past eight years to glass work. The precision of his glass
cutting and symmetry from his mathematics background, best
display themselves in his intricate mosaic vases containing
1,000's of hand-cut tiles. In 2006, Tom had the opportunity
to organize a group of volunteers to construct a 30,000 hand-cut
glass tile mural for Extreme Makeover Home Edition. The wall
mural was constructed in the catering kitchen of the family
in Logan, Utah. Saundra, working with Ty Pennington, prepared
a digital rendering of the sunburst pattern.
In April
of 2007 we opened a new 2,000 square foot design center to
accomodate the growing demand for our custom glass products.
We have 800 square feet of gallery and showroom area where
prospective clients may see many examples of our product offerings.
In the shop area we have four large tables on which to lay
out our works in process and four kilns for the fused glass
projects.
We offer
an ongoing program of mosaic and fused glass workshops held
at both our design center in Pineville, NC and Delphi Glass
in Lansing, MI. Students have come from as far away as California,
Washington State and Mexico City, Mexico.
Today,
Saundra's and Tom's unique glass works can be found in homes,
restaurants and businesses across the country. Their works
have been featured in numerous magazines, including South
Park Magazine, HouseTrends, Custom Home, Charlotte Magazine
and Frederick Magazine.
