Due to Covid Virus I have had to temporarily suspend glass flameworking workshops and private teaching.
*Back 30 years ago when I started melting glass and making glass beads I wanted glass knobs for the kitchen in my new home. Nothing was available for a glass artist to melt glass onto so I designed (and have manufactured in the US) hardware. I made Glass Knobs for my kitchen. I also sold and continue to sell MAKE A KNOB kits to other artists globally.
The first visitor to my studio saw my kitchen and ordered the glass knobs. A new business was born. I do not use glue to attach glass to hardware. I shape the molten glass directly on the hardware I designed. The number 1 complaint I have heard through the years from clients upgrading to my glass creations is 'my knob fell off hardware'. This does not happen to my creations.
I will make you Glass Knobs and Lamp Finials for you when Boring just won't do!
Peace.

5 out of 5 starsI’m so excited to FINALLY receive this. The Centerville postal office had it and said it was going to be here Saturday. First they said Friday. Today is Monday and I got it! It was well-packed. It’s beautiful and I hope to buy other items from Marj. Also I appreciate how tall it is to protrude from the shade.

5 out of 5 starsI love this finial. Unfortunately it’s much smaller than it looked in the picture. I will have to find a smaller lamp to put it on. It’s beautiful thought. Unique and great workmanship!
