Debbie’s studio

“Generally I prefer to work in a small scale. The finished work invites in you for a closer look. I feel there is something special about being able to hold a completed work of art in the palm of your hand. Recently I've been experimenting with a combination of shapes, beads and sequins. The variety is endless.”

Sandy Christey

Sandy Christey designs jewelry and paints on silk.  Sandy enjoys putting vibrant colors together. Sandy says that art is also a meditation for her. She incorporates gems and pendants from around the world in her jewelry, to visualize world peace. She calls it “Healing Art Jewelry.” Semi-precious stones are thought to have healing properties and as she is an RN, that’s a concept that truly resonates with her.

Sandy also loves painting on silk. The silk is stretched on a frame and provides a surface for the vibrant colors to be absorbed. Since she is inspired by nature, Sandy includes flowers in most of her scarves, purses, and glasses cases.

CRAFTS CLOSEUP • Rod Baker

Rod Baker with friend Kayce showing Rod’s kiln.

Rod Baker describes himself as a “self taught” independent glass artist. Beginning with stained glass about 30 years ago and moving into fusing in 2002. In 2007 he began blowing glass, first at Cal Poly, and then in his one studio.

Samples of Rod Baker’s glass

Each piece, with its vibrant colors and patterns, is individually hand crafted and is one of a kind.

Fused pieces are made with compatible glasses that have been specially formulated. Designs are composed of multiple pieces of glass, precision cut and fused together in a kiln at approximately 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Plate and cup © Rod Baker

Blown glass pieces are made in a “hot shop” where there is a furnace with a crucible of molten glass at 2200 degrees Fahrenheit that is “gathered” out of with blowpipes and punties. Each piece is made of 2 or 3 or more “gatherers” of glass.

The color is added in various ways: frit, which is small pieces of glass that is sized from fine sand to pebble sized pieces, and rods, stringers, and cane are some of the many ways that color and design are added to the glass. The color in the glass is achieved by adding metallic oxides such as chromium, manganese, gold, and copper to only name a few.

Rod is a native Californian. He grew up in the Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica area. He loves the ocean and the beach and has always been connected to it. He moved to Los Osos in 2000 and has found a perfect climate to create and live.
