Using a kiln, Maura fuses multiple layers of glass to create cabochons that become stunning necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. After applying shimmering metallic coatings to the fired pieces, Maura further shapes the pieces by hand and then re-fires them, often repeating this process until she obtains the ideal result. 

You can view Mara’s jewelry at the Port Ludlow Art League Gallery. The gallery is located at the corner of Oak Bay Road and Osprey Ridge Drive. The gallery is open Tuesday – Saturday, noon – 4 pm.
