Glass Making by CarneyArtGlass

We design and make beautiful handcrafted glass for all occasions, ensuring each piece is unique and using the finest materials and numerous traditional glass crafting techniques such as casting or fusing glass. Often we include glass in mixed media projects. From jewelry to pieces for home decor, we are inspired to make glass pieces displaying a sense of humor, particularly with subjects drawn from the Sonoran Desert for inspiration. We take custom orders to cater to individual tastes and preferences. However, we do not sell our work on-line and, thus, most of our sales are at the various fairs, festivals, or museum shows where we display our work in person so you can touch and experience the art before purchase. Through word of mouth of visitors to our shows or people who have seen our work in homes of friends, we are often contacted by email and will discuss small commissions at reasonable prices for corporate gift giving or individual purchases. So, if you are interested, feel free to contact us anytime at our email address provided at the contact us page of our website. For upcoming shows, see the Contact Us page.

About CarneyArtGlass: In the late eighties, Veta first learned how to make fused glass in kilns and then later learned other glass-making techniques such as pate de verre, painting on glass, mold making, and casting glass using the lost wax technique. On weekends, working as a full-time attorney in Washington, D.C., she was a studio assistant at the Washington Glass School in Mount Ranier, Maryland. In the 2000's, she began visiting the Tucson area frequently, planning to retire in the area to concentrate full time on glass art. She was selected as a visiting artist at the Little Gallery of the Sun at DeGrazia Gallery in January 2012 and again in February 2017. Her works have been shown in numerous juried shows including the Glass National Shows in 2015 and 2017 at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, Virginia, the Creative Craft Council Biennial Exhibition in Bethesda, Maryland, and several shows sponsored by the National Capital Area Glass Guild and the Virginia Glass Guild. In Tucson, where she now resides, she has had the privilege of exhibiting mixed media and glass works in Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) exhibits and fundraisers (10”x10” Artworks) for the Tohono Chul Gallery and participates in numerous fairs and festivals.
