Material+Movement was inspired by a simple broken dish. I spent over a decade as a glass artist cutting, grinding, and polishing glass sculptures. I transferred my skills to a favorite plate that shattered, carving the shards into a necklace as a way to revive my cherished object. I was then inspired to bring this craft to others who want to honor and keep family china in a way they can fully appreciate it. I hand cut and carve the china and assemble the pieces with fine metal components.
