Our goal is to make art glass approachable and user-friendly! We want you to enjoy your glass as much as we enjoy making it!
When I met glass, I was nervous about how fragile it would be. I learned that if I treated glass with respect, it is not nearly as fragile as I thought. I have dropped glass dozens of times out of hundreds of pieces, and only six pieces perished. Basically, don’t worry, and don’t throw it! ~Michelle

Food Service – Fused Glass Plates and Trays
Our fused glass is durable and food safe. The research results are in, we have reports that our fused glass dishes endure normal use for over 10 years! These glass owners do not follow the Chef’s tip (below), they don’t worry about using metal utensils, and they put their dishes in the dishwasher*! The dishes wear as well as ceramic dishes and still sparkle!

Cleaning Tips: If abrasive cleaning is needed, I recommend
0000steel wool combined with warm soapy water. It works great and will not harm the glass. Avoid using steak knives or abrasive cleaners on the glass. Our tests show this can permanently scratch the surface over time.Do not place art glass in a dishwasher*, microwave, or oven. Art glass does not like extreme or sudden temperature changes that could shock the glass and cause breakage.
Pass it On! Practice these care tips, and you will have a wonderful heirloom to share with future generations.
