History
The idea for Grateful Glass sprouted a few years ago, when a patron at an art show approached me about making a custom memorial piece using cremation ashes. Having never worked with cremation ashes, I cautiously took on the commission hoping to meet expectations. When I hand delivered the finished piece several weeks later, both the customer and I shared tears of joy. Although I previously had made many meaningful pieces, never before had I experienced so much positive emotion from one of my creations. It was at this moment that I decided to use my talent in order to bring happiness to others. And so the Grateful Glass flame was lit...
Specialties
Grateful Glass handcrafts unique memorials keepsakes and remembrance jewelry from a small amount of a loved one's cremation ashes. The ashes are encased within layers of hot glass and then manipulated in different forms. The result is a one of a kind keepsake that honors the memory and celebrates the life of a loved one or beloved pet.
