Sandi Katz
Sandi is a glass artist whose work is known across the country. Each signed piece is an original handcrafted design that has been kiln fired. It takes about 12 hours from the inception of a piece until the firing process is complete. Many of the multi-layered designs require multiple firings. "I enjoy being able to combine function, beauty, and the warmth of tradition.
I delight in the infinite array of design possibilities available with this art form. My art is inspired by traditions passed on to me by my mother and it keeps her close in my heart. Each piece is lovingly made with the hope that it brings you the same joy I received in creating it."- Sandi Katz
