Melanie L. Cech - Sumner
GLASS SCULPTURE ARTIST

The weekend is here! I'll be located in Booth #26 between
200 - 300 West Venice Ave!
I've been working nonstop like I usually do preparing some beautiful show pieces, along with all of your favorites for you to choose from! Come by, say hello, and browse from my latest series of work to add to your collection!

My flamework glass sculptures and jewelry are made with borosilicate glass rods. The pieces are sculpted in an oxygen/propane flame, trimmed with 22kt gold. All pieces are unique, one-of-a-kind designs, with many set in natural corals, shells, and stones that represent my love for sun, sand, and sea.
