ABOUT CHERYL MILLER

Once I start designing a piece, I consider how the elements, colors, light, and design, as well as the chemical compositions of the glass will translate into the finished artwork.   You can obtain beautiful results in glass being always mindful of the effects of temperatures and the right timing of kiln schedules necessary to obtain the desired result.    Then the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

My journey into glass fusing began in 2006 with my first class at Phoenix College. The first

thing I learned was you must be patient with glass heat work which often requires long kiln

schedules and several times in the kiln before you have a finished piece. I find intriguing the

aspects of glasswork that include the consideration of form, color and design. I have continued

to expand the various glass techniques that I incorporate into my work with an eye toward a

marriage of the aesthetic and technical. I strive to make every piece a unique expression in glass.

 

Much of the time, I am following my own thoughts and ideas to create a new glass project. I

have also enjoyed the collaboration with individual collectors in the creative process for

commissioned art glass pieces for specific events and celebrations. As my experience with glass

has expanded, so have my horizons for future works.
