We are honored to carry hand-blown glass functional art pieces by Leigh Wyatt. From mushrooms to carafes to sippers to tumblers, Leigh's work is dynamic, unique and incredibly thoughtful. Leigh found glass over 30 years ago and has formed a long-lasting relationship with this molten material. When creating with glass she is still amazed by the fascinating traits it holds. "It is fragile yet strong. Like us. Us humans." - Leigh Wyatt

It is such an amazing treasure that after being broken, our bodies, minds and spirits, like glass, can heal and be even stronger than before…ourselves closer to the truths of life. I feel so honored to get to blow glass today. I have been given a number of chances on this planet and this recent one is by far the sweetest..
