Catherine
Lottes:
Over a decade of diligent, adventurous and challenging
work has been invested into developing an exciting variety
of innovative glass-working processes, resulting in our unique
and stunning glass products. Created with the sensibility
of a Professional Fine Artist, our glass products are both
versatile and visually pleasing --intended to either contrast,
compliment or correlate with any environment both indoors
and out.
Inspired by the beauty of basic natural elements:
Earth – Geological forms, granite, alabaster, slate
and stone
Metal – Precious and man-made materials born of fire
Sky - Celestial and atmospheric forms
Water – A variety of “liquid” to “frozen”
forms
Wood- Organic and botanical forms
Informed by:
Material Science and Physics
Art History and Archeology
Anthropology and Spirituality
Principles and Practices of Green Design / Sustainable Development
Dedicated to the respect, conservation and stewardship of
our natural and man-made Resources.
