Glitz & Grandeur

@glitzandgrandeur / glitzandgrandeur.tumblr.com

Glass is amazing! It’s a suspended liquid that moves and flows. It changes with light and the lack of light! It's smooth and glossy, it has texture and depth. It's cool, it's hot, it melts, but is strong. It sparkles. It shines. It even casts rainbows. Oh glass, how I love you! I'm Susan, a stained glass artisan. I also work with fused glass, and make handcrafted jewelry. This, my blog, it's where I post pics, ramble on, and share things that catch my eye, turn me on, spark a reaction, or that I just plain like. You can find pictures of projects in progress here, instead of just the finished pieces on Etsy. I have an little shop on Etsy called Glitz & Grandeur. You can connect directly to Etsy, or directly to my shop by clicking the appropriate 'Etsy' or 'Glitz & Grandeur' link below. You can also find my page on Facebook under "Artists" as Glitz & Grandeur, or click the Facebook icon below. The same goes for my Pinterest boards. Thanks for visiting!

One of earliest hand blown glass vases that Bernard still makes to this day.

A view from a window inspired a theme that Bernard continued to explore through out his career.

This hand blown art glass vase has withstood the test of time, remaining a recognizable work of art from Bernard Katz Glass.

The Tree Vase is hand blown with two layers of color. The inside layer is a transparent color that fades towards the bottom of the vase. The dark outer layer of glass color has been sandblasted, leaving only the image of tree and branches.

Combining the illusion of organic growth with a structured form, demonstrates both the fluid yet controlled world of glass blowing.

Often asked, “Are the dark colored vines or branch like parts glass?” Yes, the Chalice Root is all glass. The three dimensional elements are applied during the final stages in the hot blowing process. Like most of the work we do, blowing the piece is just the start. It then begins its long journey through the cold working process of masking, sandblasting, grinding, etching, and finishing applications. Finally, the Bernard Katz signature.
