ARTIST STATEMENT

Charity Stewart is a fused glass artist who specializes in Italian art glass designs. Greatly influenced by the beauty in nature and travels through Italy, her award winning work is a harmonious blend of contemporary style and ancient glassmaking techniques.

In her Sherwood home studio, tiny pieces of glass are intricately arranged and kiln formed multiple times resulting in unique floral artwork and colorful jewelry. Much of her work incorporates the use of millefiori, which is Italian for "1,000 flowers". This unique type of glassware consists of colored rods that are fused together then sliced to reveal beautiful flowerlike patterns. Each piece is carefully crafted with the hopes of bringing a touch of joy to you and your home.
