Judith Konesni and Michael Fortin have been life long artists and creators. Working together for more than 20 years the couple have developed unique one of a kind designs using traditional blown, lampworked and kiln formed glass.
Working from their home studio in Kalamazoo, MI they produce collectable and seasonal items, beverageware, lighting, sculpture, installations and jewelry.
During "cooler" months the duo hosts short project orientated workshops featuring seasonal and functional items.
