Meet Elara Vance: Master of Luminous Glass
Elara Vance, an award-winning glass artist from the Pacific Northwest, brings her signature technique of fusing vibrant, natural pigments into molten glass to Cast & Clay. Her work captures the fluid, untamed beauty of nature, often echoing the unpredictable patterns of light and shadow.
The 'Prairie Fire' series, a collaboration with Cast & Clay's master potter, draws inspiration from the dramatic Illinois prairie landscapes at dusk. Each piece in this limited collection embodies the fiery oranges, deep reds, and smoldering charcoals of a prairie sunset, fused onto our signature hand-thrown stoneware forms.
