Two accomplished American glass artists, Joy Alyssa Day and BJ Johnson, owners of GlassSculpture.org, have teamed with Julie Rodriguez Jones of Art from the Soul to celebrate the joyous sacraments of The Church. Our specialty in creative glass art is a perfect marriage with Julie's liturgical art. We will be adding to our original designs selected motifs that Julie has created for liturgical and ministerial stoles and banners, and transforming them into glass; celebrating the most sacred times in the lives of churches, families and congregationsthe sacraments of Christening, Baptism and Holy Communion.
The Creative Process In Glass
Each bowl is individually crafted by hand in our mountaintop Northern California studio, allowing the personality that can only be born in a handmade work of art to emerge and shine through. The designs and colors that you see are done in glass, with glass. Each bowl requires four to six separate firings, requiring a day for each; using various glass types, shapes, sizes and processes to achieve
glorious effects
unachievable by any other means. The result is a truly unique work of art; freely giving life, grace and beauty to your surroundings and the celebrations that take place within and among them.
These hand-cast fine art glass pieces are meant to be used for a lifetime and passed down for generations. They are substantial; having wall thicknesses between 3/8" and 1/2" and weighing 13 to 16 pounds on average. Their beauty celebrates the Glory of God and the special events in the life of your church.

Finishes
The inside surface is semi-gloss to high gloss, depending upon the glasses incorporated and the methods employed to make the basin. The outer surface is a rustic finish; soft to the touch, with subtle relief textures that only comes from a hand-made piece. Uniform bowl edges are high gloss, while the undulating or fluted edges exhibit the same texture as that of the inside surface. All edges are ground and polished smooth.
The bottom may be left hemispherical, ground flat or three small domed feet can be added to stabilize it when resting on a table or cabinet. In the case of a base similar to
those available below, having a bevelled circular cutout in which to rest the basin, it is recommended to leave the bottom hemispherical.

Custom Glass
We know that all sanctuaries and the people who worship there are unique. Architecture, interior treatments, surfaces and materials, space considerations, lighting and personal taste all enter into choosing a basin for your congregation. There are as many variations possible in glass and the selections shown here are only a small portion.

In essence, all of our glass is custom made. The only difference between a basin made to order and those displayed is that they were made without our knowing at the time who will love them one day. If you have preferred colors or a size that doesn't happen to be shown, please
contact us or call 831-659-4950 and we will do our best to work with you to bring your dream into reality and make your baptism celebrations truly special indeed.
