Introducing our newest artisan: Athena. Athena joined us in Alexandria recently and has a passion for art. She is currently honing her weaving skills in our textiles studio. She also loves spending time in the glass studio creating new products. During her free time, Athena enjoys watering plants, drawing, and going to the mall.

Athena is diligently breaking down the remaining glass from our "petal line", which includes the Lily Pad Petal Dish, Rainbow Petal Bowl, and the Acer Candle Holder. These smaller pieces are incorporated into our Rainbow Lumiere Lanterns and Water Lumiere Lanterns. Currently, they are being used in our Rainbow Dragonfly Garden Stakes and Water Dragonfly Garden Stakes.

Athena applies a specialized glass glue to the wings of the dragonflies using a paint brush. Then, she arranges the chipped glass pieces together in a mosaic-like pattern.

Following the kiln firing, Athena applies a small amount of glue to the garden stake, pressing it onto the back of the dragonfly before allowing it to dry overnight.

Designed with the environment and our artisans in mind, the Water Dragonfly Garden Stake is the perfect summer purchase! With luminescent grace, this garden stake will light up your backyard.

We appreciate your hard work, Athena, for helping to bring this beautiful garden stake to life!
