About the Artist
Duane and Erika are AZ natives. Duane was actually born here in Tucson! A welder and a waitress met 40+ years ago. After they retired from their "real" jobs - Erika found she really liked stained glass and other glass related hobbies. -- Duane continued with his welding. Together they create, re-build, and restore. Utilizing new materials, forgotten materials, sentimental materials, and found "stuff". Recycle is our middle name! Yard Art, Wall Art, Home & Garden Decor, Sun Catchers ,metal bells and pretty things! We have done some pretty cool custom work as well. We love the ooohhss and aaaawwws when people come see our shop. You will probably never see 2 pieces exactly the same as each piece is individually created.How to Purchase

About the Process
(Erika) I love all things glass. I will jump around doing different projects. Sometimes I just buy glass, because of the color & texture , not knowing what I will do with . Sometimes glass sheets will just sit on my shelf for years. Then I will pick something-- i.e. suncatchers ~ hearts? birds? I go to my glass pile and create my objects, I will find the perfect combo of glass that just "fits".. Sometimes I will go into Duane's shop, find a metal object, that I think will make a great suncatcher, I add glass or other doo-dads (we save everything!) , add a chain, and hook~ walla! something unique and cool. Sometimes Duane will have an idea for an animal (i.e. an owl) , he makes the body and feet. I will cook (fuse glass) a bunch of "eyes".. We then will pick out which set work the best. We are truly different personalities. But both of us get excited about creating new things. We don't always agree on what looks the best, but we always appreciate each others opinions. He is always willing to supply any metal material , and I contribute from my glass collection to his projects. We especially enjoy custom work. Sometimes a client will specify a certain metal material, certain characters, special functioning objects. So fun when clients put something together in their heads and we are able to build it for them! Everybody is happy!Explore Nearby Studios
