Welcome to Pele’s Glass Creations

I have been a stained glass artist for the past 10 years and a fused glass artist for the past five years.  Fused glass is created by melting glass pieces to each other in a kiln.

I create lava explosions and lava flows in fused stained glass.  I live near the lava flow from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, and that is my source of inspiration.  I have developed a method of creating fused glass to resemble Pele’s beautiful creations.  All my work is created and fused at my workshop in lower Puna on the Big Island of Hawai’i .  Each piece is one of a kind.

My art varies from 3”x4” sun catchers, larger pieces that hang in windows, or an open area, to fused stained glass panels.  I use a combination of stained glass and dichroic glass in my pieces.    This process combines to give each piece a sparkle that changes as the day passes, and lights come on in a room.

Currently my work is available at various galleries on the Big Island.  These include, “The Gallery at Waikoloa” at the Hilton Resort in Kohala,  “Volcano Garden Art “in the village of Volcano, at “Volcano Art Center” on the grounds of Hawai’i Volcano’s National Park,  and “Kalani Houna  gift shop “in lower Puna.  Also I am at the Hilo Farmer’s Market on  most Wednesday’s and Saturday’s, in the mauka (mountain) craft tent area.

I’d like to share a note from a recent client.  “Later in the week we visited Volcano and stopped in Volcano Garden Arts where I purchased one of your pieces, with the clear background.  That evening we went out to view the lava flows, and you have certainly captures the red, orange, and yellow explosions as they spew into the air.  Your piece is no in Baltimore, Maryland hanging in the window of our breakfast is where we can enjoy it every morning!  Mahalo”.  Randi.”
