Cheryl Kumiski is an award winning stained glass artist. her work is in private and corporate collections throughout the united states. as a departure from large scale installations, her fused glass jewelry was created.
... For nearly 25 years, Kumiski has been a glass tamer, though her passion to create is something she says has always been inside of her....
... A few years ago she turned to making glass jewelry so that she would have something to sell at the shows, again tackling a an unusual facet of working in glass. She describes the process of creating these almost three-dimensional pieces as melting multi stages of compatible glass together. As with her panel work, she was critical of her first attempts, calling them horrible blobs.
"The difference in my jewelry then and now is astounding to me," she says.
