We have just been commissioned to do a mosaic mural on a waterwall at the new Tryon Street Luxury Apartments in Charlotte, NC. The wall is 33' wide and 14' high and we will cover over 500 square feet. Above is the digital rendering prepared by Saundra and submitted to the project developer (The Dinerstein Companies) from Houston, Texas. The theme is the migrating turtles at a North Carolina beach. Our mosaic work will be done primarily in irregular shaped porcelain tiles with the design elements (seagulls, turtles, sandpipers, sea oats) in fused glass. We will also place two large (3') mosaic turtles in the main swimming pool.

We place great emphasis on our (CUSTOM DESIGN) work. On a variety of projects Saundra Snyder, our Design Coordinator, also an award winning watercolor artist, will produce a drawing or watercolor rendering. You may also see Saundra's watercolors at www.homeportraitsbysaundra.com.Our fused glass works involve layering of hand-cut glass pieces and firing in a kiln. Depending upon the fusing temperatures (ranging from 1300 to 1500 degrees), the resulting glass product either has a smooth surface or a raised surface with all the edges rounded. Our mosaic glass works are made by adhering tiny, hand-cut glass tiles to a substrate (such as a vase, Hardiboard, Wedi board, wood) and finishing with grout to fill in the gaps. In either case, the finished works are truly attention getting as their appearance changes with different angles of vision and amounts and direction of light.

We sell either direct or through galleries and showrooms around the country (see list in Bio section). Most of our work is by commission. We enjoy involving the client in the process. Each ofour glass works is highly customized to meet the client's decorating themes and color schemes - truly making the end product one-of-a-kind. We have a wide array of glass colors and textures from which to choose.

We pride ourselves on our growing reputation to produce quality, uniquely designed glass works and deliver them in a timely manner. We continue to explore additional product applications and many of our ideas come from our clients.
Please visit the galleries to see the many works for sale and examples of award winning works. Contact us to arrange commissioned backsplashes, accent tiles, medallions, furniture, fireplace surrounds, sconces, art works, etc. to complement your home or office decor. We also offer workshops both locally in Charlotte, North Carolina and in Lansing, Michigan through Delphi Glass. To inquire about available mosaic workshops please visit the Workshops page.
