About Joy of Glass by Merrilee HarriganWhether you want to express your style with beautiful jewelry, enhance your home with art, or serve food on beautiful dishes, glass is a wonderful medium. Its colors can be brilliant or subtle, it complements and magnifies light, and its configurations are endless. Silver makes a perfect companion to glass in creating one-of-a-kind fine jewelry. Joy of Glass seeks to perfect the art of glass fusing and silversmithing to bring deeply satisfying, and -- yes, joyful -- art to the world.
