For homes, designers and businesses

Commission a glass centerpiece.

I make one-of-a-kind glass to order for clients across the United States, from my studio in Chagrin Falls, Ohio: lighting, sculpture, vessels and gifts. I work directly with homeowners and designers, and with art studios and specialty retailers.

Love the glass pants, but imagine them in another color? Start with an existing piece, or tell me about an idea of your own. We’ll go over the design together, including the finish and any other changes.

What you can commission

Custom glass, made for you.

Chandeliers and lighting
Chandeliers and pendant clusters designed for your room, plus sconces and sculptural light pieces. Metal structures are made in Caroline’s own metal shop.
Glass shades
Hand-blown shades for a ready-made, safety-listed light fixture, or a simple blown shade to match one that broke.
Sculpture and statement pieces
One-of-a-kind glass for a mantel, entry, office or lobby, like the glass pants series or a larger display piece.
Vessels and table pieces
Vases, bowls, cups, platters and trays in your colors, including cane and lattice patterns. See the portfolio.
Seasonal pieces
Glass pumpkins for autumn and ornaments for the holidays, as gifts or small collections.
Gifts for businesses and occasions
Awards and client gifts in company colors, and pieces to mark a wedding or anniversary.
For designers and architects
Color matching, glass samples, design sketches and the details needed to coordinate with electricians and installers.

Caroline trained in glass at the Cleveland Institute of Art, and her network of Cleveland artists, metalworkers and makers means a project that needs another skill can still come together in one place.
