Hi! I'm Dani, a chemistry professor and glass artist in Cincinnati, Ohio, dreaming up creations in glass, and I’m so happy to support Arts Education with a portion of my sales through RISE. I use the process of glass fusing to craft jewelry, ornaments, and items for entertaining and everyday use. All items are crafted by me from "scratch" - I produce the glass pieces from the raw materials.
My fusing enthusiasm began 10 years ago when attending a social event at a local glass studio. I’ve always been ”crafty” - sewing, knitting, crocheting and such - so glass became another medium for me to explore creative ideas. My background in chemistry has helped my understanding of how glass behaves and the possible reactions of colors to provide some surprising results.
For me, my art is at its best when it can be both visually pleasing and functional. I think a beautiful dish makes any food taste even better.
