What the torch holds still.

Also from the bench

Enclosed ornaments

Miniature scenes sealed in clear — cane, color, and small figures held still inside a teardrop or globe. Crosses, latticino, flora, fauna, and seasonal work, each made at the bench.

Goblets

Flameworked stems and bowls. Thin, bright, and meant to be held — drinking vessels treated as sculpture.

Sculpture

Standalone forms from the torch: fumed moons, color studies, and pieces that do not need a hook or a table setting to finish the thought.
