From Forgotten Glass, Beauty Begins.

I turn overlooked pieces of glass into colorful art with personality. From suncatchers and mirrors to jewelry and seasonal pieces, everything is made by hand and one of a kind.

Every piece starts here.

Behind the glass

Made slowly.
Made with purpose.

GLZD ARTISTRY began with a simple idea: forgotten glass still has something beautiful to become.

I cut, shape, foil, and solder every piece by hand. No two turn out exactly alike—and that is the whole point.

I love finding possibilities in colors, textures, and pieces others might pass by. The process is slow, a little messy, and always worth it.

The hands behind GLZD

Glass isn’t just what I make.
It’s part of my story.

I’m Erica—maker, glass lover, and the hands behind every piece that leaves my workbench.

My husband has been creating stained glass since high school. After meeting him, I watched him work and found myself wanting to know more: how the pieces fit, how the light changed them, and how a sheet of glass could become something with a life of its own.

That curiosity grew into a passion—and nearly 20 years working in glass manufacturing. Glass became more than a material around me. It became something I understood, respected, and genuinely loved.

“Every color, texture, shape, and thickness has something different to say.”

Working with glass has taught me patience—and plenty of respect for the material. I’ve always loved creating with my hands, whether I’m building stained-glass art, turning colorful scraps into jewelry, or bringing a design to life through mirror etching.

I’m creative, determined, caring, adventurous, and always ready to try something new. That spirit finds its way into every one-of-a-kind piece I make. Because forgotten glass deserves another chance to be unforgettable.
