| Last summer a client came by with his daughter. They walked into the studio and the little girl introduced herself, she said "I'm Natasha, I am 7 years old, and I want to be a glass artist". She wanted to commission a tile with a picture in glass. I explained that an artist should not copy something someone else had created, however, if she would create an original drawing, I would produce the glass tile. The very next day she returned to the studio with a crayon on paper towel drawing of a tree with a sky background for the landscape and a cute imaginative friend in the scene. Attempting to treat her as I would any commission client, we discussed size and pallet choices and agreed on a production schedule. The following weekend, en route to summer camp, she stopped by the studio to pick up her tile. The absolute joy and glee in this young child's eyes when she held up her creation in glass will stay with me for a long time. |
