Artisan - Karen Espeland




K. L. Espeland Studio

Natures sights, sounds and patterns influence the work that I have shaped using fire.  In nature, fire transforms our environment in many ways.  I use this fire (or controlled heat), creating unique pieces of jewelry, ornaments and plates through the fused glass, metal smithing, and PMC mediums.









Creating art has been a life long passion.  My flame was reignited in 2000 when I began fusing glass.  Since then I have looked for new & unique ways to present fused glass and this has led me to combine old & new art & craft techniques.







 



In the past, my work has been shown in Whatcom County at:  Roeder Home Art Show – Kale House Art Show - Artwood.   I also hold a yearly open house at my private studio.

Artisan - Margo Graff

I am Margo Graf and I love to create greeting cards.  I have enjoyed working
with rubber stamps, paper folding, and fabric since I was a child.  These
cards have been a perfect outlet for that interest.
