Tamara Baskin

Born and raised in Isreal, Tamara Baskin moved to the United States where she began her art career. She is a self taught artist with twenty years experience working in various mediums. For the past several years she has been creating elegant yet functional designs to celebrate Jewish life.

The technique of fusing glass goes back to biblical times. Layers of glass are cut and then arranged in a kiln to be fired to a temperature of 1550 degrees when it becomes one piece of glass. A second firing is required to form the piece into a bowl or platter. Slumping into a mold may create variations of "crackling" in the precious metal letters.
