Meet our Artists:
TGlass Studios is proud to host 3 generations of artists. We are family by blood, by marriage and by friendship. What began as a site presenting my glass work continues to evolving into a wonderful display of many talents. It is always inspiring and humbling to see what new things they have created and to be able to share them with you. I (Debbie) was fortunate enough to marry into this creative family, and it gives me great pleasure to present their work here as well as my own. Thank you for your interest in our work!

rehabilitate wildlife. A percentage of all her sales are donated
locally to wildlife rehabilitation. "I am also blessed to have a
amazingly creative husband who helps design some of my more intricate pieces and
who creates wonderful wood frames for the larger panels. It is a joy to
share my life's passion with my life's partner."
John Striker ("Red Cloud") is the owner / Artist of Spiral Bound Creations. Created by nature, with the innate serpent power of the Universe.

passing it on to those who enjoy it. Every piece she creates is an
"Exquisite treasure for your simple pleasures". Maeghan's

has always had deeply rooted ties to Earth and all Life upon Her. Her interest

earliest memories and she’s been involved with gardening and raising small and
large creatures since a very young age. She strongly believes that all life is
interconnected and that all aspects of life, in all of its cycles, should be
honored. Carlyn
feels that her Bunny Bags represent that connection of mind, body and spirit
that we and all things have with each other. She creates each unique bag in a Sacred Space and imparts it with love, energy and spirit. All Bunny Bags are
hand stitched, lined with satin and signed, dated and numbered by the artist.
