Jean Hrdlicka creates each piece of fused glass art from start to finish. She creates the designs for each collection. Every piece of glass is hand cut and assembled by Jean in her studio. Most pieces take at least two kiln firings, one to fuse the glass in the design and the second to slump the piece into the desired form. The kiln firings take 2 to 3 days before each piece is complete. As with any hand crafted piece of art, creating each collection's design has taken many hours of trial and error. It is very important to Jean to share her hand crafted pieces with others who appreciate the time, talent, and dedication it takes to create a one of a kind piece of art.
