Well hello there! I am Courtney Gray, a glass artist living and creating in Northern California from my home studio. My love of glass began as a kid... I often went antique shopping with my family and was always drawn to glass ashtrays of the 1960’s. So, in my junior year of college when I saw a sign posted for a fused glass class, I signed up and a few years later and created grayc glass from my two-bedroom apartment.

Fused glass is separate pieces of glass melted together in a kiln at a high temperature, I normally fuse to 1400 degrees.  Pieces melt in my kilns multiple times to achieve the perfect smooth edges and uniform shape.  The melting process makes the glass pieces very strong.  I am excited to have 2 assistants that now help me create these beautiful designs.  We are truly innovating in the studio, now using a tile saw and lapidary grinder to combine colors and shape pendants into pieces the glass industry has never seen.

When I am making something by hand, piece by piece, it is truly one of a kind. Everything I make is one of a kind, but at the same time, I pride myself on product consistency.  Swirls, and bubbles make each piece unique, but you can be sure the piece you order will be even more beautiful than expected!
