Nestled in the heart of southern Oregon, LaJoie-ful Glass Art is the creation by a passionate glass artist dedicated to infusing everyday life with beauty and delight. Each piece is lovingly crafted in my home workshop in Grants Pass, where imagination and skill combine to transform fine raw materials into luminous works of art.
Fused glass artistry is a meticulous process that brings together pieces of colored glass through heat and creativity. At LaJoie-ful Glass Art, every item is functional, designed not just to be admired, but to be used and enjoyed in daily life. My collection is a vibrant tapestry of hearts, trinket dishes, plates, trays, bowls, yard/garden art & home decor, votive candle holders, wine bottle slumps, matching sets, and Holidays, offering a way to observe the use of color and design in various objects.
The foundation of each creation is the finest quality glass, carefully selected for clarity, color, and durability. To add intricate details and expressive motifs, I incorporate murrini and frit.
Murrini: Small, patterned glass slices resembling flowers, leaves, ladybugs, and other shapes. Created by various artists, I arrange them to form miniature landscapes or bursts of organic life.
Frit: Crushed glass in a rainbow of hues, frit adds texture, shading, and depth to designs. Its versatility allows for subtle transitions and dynamic patterns, bringing every item to life.
Stringers: Thin rods of colored glass used to outline, accentuate, or add playful lines to a composition.
Every step, from designing to firing, is guided by a spirit of joy and discovery. My home studio in Grants Pass is a place where inspiration flourishes, and each finished piece reflects my love for the craft and the desire to spread happiness through art.
