Deborah Healy
Kevin and Deborah Healy have been designing and manufacturing jewelry for the last 30 years.  After traveling across the country from their native New York to Arizona and then finally settling in Central California, they were inspired to recreate the beauty that they had witnessed in their art.   It was an accident of fate that led them to kaleidoscopes.  A customer asked them to repair a small, damaged brass kaleidoscope.  While tackling the repair, they did some scope research and tried making a scope of their own.  To their surprise, the necklace scopes they created became one of their most popular items at the Sunday art fairs on the beach at Santa Barbara.  All their customers remembered having a kaleidoscope as a child. But even those passers-by who were not familiar with scopes appreciated the tiny, decorative wearable scopes.

Margarita
Margarita designs and makes jewelry using pre-World War II hand cut antique glass. Much of this glass is at least 100 years old. Her design focus is all about the color and cut of these glass gems.  All her work is original and handmade. The designs are limited editions due to the fact that the glass is antique.  Each glass gem is of finite supply, and when a piece finishes there simply is no more.  Antique glass has, by its very nature, various nuances which reflect their individual character and unique appearance.  Margarita's timeless jewelry designs are wearable collectibles.

A native of South Carolina, Kenneth has called Missouri home for the last 19 years.  He thought he was just passing though on his way to c=California when he took a job as a glassblowers' apprentice. His interest in glass continued and he built his own studio in 1998.  Kenneth works solo and all of his glass is made "off-hand", one at a time, from start to finish.  He gathers the hot glass from the furnace on the end of a punty rod or blow -pipe and uses on a  few simple hand tools to help form the shape.  "Glass is a reflection of Light and life.  Enjoy!"...Kenneth Marine

John McDonald
John began developing his talent as a glass artist at an exceptionally young age in his hometown of Liberal, Kansas.  He explored the medium of glass during his freshman year at Liberal High School in 1984.  John's next four years of high school were filled with hours spent in the e art department where his talent as a glass artist was growing.  After graduating from Liberal High School, John continued in the medium of glass at Seward County Community College for two years.  He later studied at the Corning School of Glass.

Marianne Shepardson
Marianne Shepardson has been working with fused glass since 1995.  Prior to that she was a woodworker, interior designer, architectural designer, and professional cook.  Her pieces feature an iridized surface, which is permanent.

Jane Tivol
I have always had a passion for glass. I am fascinated by the way it is so comfortable in its natural, molten, fluid state.  At the same time it looks right at home in its "super-cooled" solid state.  Glass that has been formed using heat processes such as a torch a furnace, or a kiln seems to retain a quality that makes it appear to be trapped in a state somewhere between fluid and solid. As I have created my body of work, I often choose names for the pieces based on people and places that have inspired me.  So with my artist-heart, I continue to discover new ways to share my experiences and memories through my glass artwork.

Jonathan Winter
"Glass is magic. Playing with liquid light at 2,000 degrees involves all of the senses."  Handcrafted glass beads became my passion after an apprenticeship with famed glassblower Robert Hamon who whetted my appetite for this most seductive of media. Previously a photographer, both media have light in common, but this light I can mold.

Moulton Avery, Judith Shapiro
When Judith Shapiro and Moulton Avery started Zero Gravity Glass, they began a creative journey that’s still unfolding. From a small, intimate space in the basement of their home, they’ve grown into a spacious commercial studio where they create distinctive jewelry, sculptural glass vessels, and a wide assortment of unique accessories. Their glass jewelry is widely regarded as the finest quality made today, and their work is represented in galleries, museums and fine craft stores throughout the United States.

Judy credits her background as a photographer and cast paper artist in forming her design aesthetic, while Moulton cites growing up in Tokyo, Japan, his love of nature, and his extensive travel in wilderness areas as major influences.

"Creating jewelry pieces and glass vessels one-at-a-time, by hand, is an intimate experience” says Judy, noting that “It’s not at all unusual to fall in love with individual pieces." Moulton adds that “It’s always nice when someone calls and lets us know that our little darlings have found a good home.”

"After ten years, we’re even more excited about the timeless beauty of glass, and what a difference it can make in a person’s life” says Judy. “That’s why we say “Live Well and Enjoy Glass.”
