Shepardson Studios

Shepardson Studios

Kiln-fired glass is an ancient glass-forming technique that is enjoying a resurgence in the fine arts and craft movement today. Cutting and piecing together a variety of colors of sheet glasses create the lines currently produced at Shepardson Studios. All cutting is done by hand, and then these pieces are assembled and fused together in our kilns. The pieces then require a second firing to shape them into a bowl or plate. Many of the molds used in the slumping process are also made by hand.

Marianne Shepardson, the owner and designer at Shepardson Studios, has been working with fused glass since 1995. Prior to that she was a woodworker, interior designer, architectural designer and professional cook. Her work is now sold at many fine shops and museums across hthe country.

Our pieces feature an iridized surface which is permanent. The pieces are safe for food, but placing extremely hot foods onto the dishes should be avoided. Hand washinng is recommended, and they shouldn't go into a microwave.
