Artist Bio
In 2010, Kimberly began experimenting with sheet glass and creating kiln-formed glass. Today she is both jeweler and glass artist, selling both disciplines at art fairs, trunk shows and directly from her studio.
“I work in the technique of kiln-formed glass. My Vessels are made using the drop-out technique which lets gravity assist in the forming of the piece. A flat, fired blank is set over a mold with an open center. The mold is supported on posts in the kiln and then fired to 1230 degrees. The glass stretches (drops) to shelf to create a base. After careful cooling, the resulting vessel is extensively cold worked to remove the rim and polish it. Some pieces are sandblasted for a satin finish”.
