Tom Sourlis has been working in stained glass for over 40 years. His infatuation
with the medium has taken him to Oregon to work directly with a glass
manufacturer to make his own one of a kind glass. His lamps are richly
veined with undulating metal seams that give it very organic feeling.
They truly light up any space like no other lamp can. In 1974, he began
making stained glass windows and lampshades which led to a 30 year fascination
with glass lamps beginning with Tiffany style and moving into more contemporary,
sculptural forms; all of his work being driven by his connection to nature.
Joining Tom will be Twyla Butler who has worked in glass for nearly 15
years. Twyla is experienced in the arts of copper foil, lead came, and
fusing glass as well as in metalsmithing and lapidary work. Her work includes
