Atlantis Rising, casting process
Atlanta sculptor
"Lisa opened her studio to me and taught me the basics of glass casting and ever since I've been obsessed with the possibilities of glass in my practice. We were able to do the impossible quickly; managing to pull an almost perfect casting of my Atlantis Rising sculpture on the first try. Lisa's passionate approach is infectious and makes learning the complexities of glass easy and fun. Fused Light Studio is a haven for an otherwise inaccessible art form. I'm glad I was given an invitation to play."

"I had always wanted to add glass sculptural elements to my projects when needed, and Lisa made that both possible and so fun. She is an incredible artist on her own who makes her wealth of glass and sculpture expertise and her entire well-appointed studio available for guest artists. ... My ongoing collaboration with Lisa and access to 3D glass casting has definitely elevated my studio practice."

House, fused glass
Nell Ruby
Professor of Art and Visual Practices, Agnes Scott College
"For the walls of the small house structures I was building, I wanted something substantial and elemental, so I looked for a glass artist. Lisa couldn’t have been more helpful, accommodating and encouraging, and her studio was a gold mine of a new way of accessing glass as a material. Fused Light Studio is a great addition to the Atlanta art scene–Lisa is exceptionally knowledgeable about her craft and loves a conceptual (and material) challenge."
