Artists & Designers
As a child, growing up in Northport, Long Island, I was always fascinated by the flames of a campfire, the butterflies we collected, and the shells and creatures that appeared at low tide. Playing in our yard with sticks, stones, seeds andflowers, my imagination ranftee. Margaret Neher's glass work reflects that lifelong fascination with the art found in nature. Unusual and striking dragonflies, salamanders, frogs, fish, turtles, fruit and flowers form the heart of her jewelry collection. She also produces geometrically pleasing drops and spirals, along with blown pieces including perfume bottles and ornaments. All are distinguished by their intricate sculptural detail and wide color palette. Neher began creating stained and etched glass art in the early 1980s, first as a hobby. She started her business two years later, making custom windows, lamps and a variety of gift items. In 1991, she began crafting glass kaleidoscopes, many of which can be found in the homes of collectors as far away as Switzerland and Japan. Drawn to lampwork in 1991, Neher soon devoted herself exclusively to this centuries-old tradition in which glass rods and tubing are melted over a 3,000-degree flame and then hand worked into finely detailed sculptural forms. No molds are used, and no two pieces are identical. Neher's work is shown in many pron-dnent shops and galleries and is owned by collectors throughout the world. She makes her home in Ithaca, N.Y. Caring for your glass art: To clean, wash in warm water with mild detergent. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Objects are designed to be durable. However, they are made of glass, and some pieces have delicate parts. Do not bang or drop. When packing, roll in bubble wrap or other protective covering, and store so that the piece can not slide or bang against other objects. Damaged jewelry will be repaired, where possible, without charge. if glass components must be replaced, a reasonable charge will be assessed. Other Featured Artists:
