Suzi Eveleth
Fused Glass Artist
I am known as a somewhat earthy and naturalist person, I love creating art from objects destined for the dumpster. After working many years with stained glass and machine made glass with controlled compatibility, I decided to venture into the road somewhat less traveled, that of recycled glass. For me that is bottles, bottles and more bottles.
I get them from friends, relatives, businesses and junk piles. My bottles are sliced, chipped, crushed and ground into an endless array of shapes and sizes. Then they are fired in a kiln to create finished pieces. Through the years of trial and error, notebooks of notes and pictures, I have created consistency within the chaotic and incompatible world of bottles. By adjusting the time, temperature and mass, I have developed programs to fuse, slump and mold pieces together. Many pieces are beautiful all by themselves, many pieces make beautiful mosaic art. Placed on old (recycled) window frames, the light dances through fish, flowers and forests.
Working with Mother Nature to create art is my passion.
