My name is Nikki and KW Collection is my creative outlet after what can sometimes feel like long days as a small business owner. I’ve always loved creating in general and always been a creator at heart.\u00a0 I love the bold colors available in glass and really enjoy creating new things almost every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I am not making fused glass art you can find me at home with my daughter and husband or at my other business, which is a custom furniture manufacturing company in Chicago. You can also find me flying; my husband and I are both pilots and we love flying around whenever we can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If there’s ever anything I can custom make for you, please ask!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fused Glass Process<\/span><\/h2>\n

Making fused glass art is a test of trust and patience.\u00a0 Each piece I make is fused at high temperatures in a kiln multiple times with each firing lasting at least 15 hours.\u00a0 Some projects are in the kiln for days due to their size or thickness.<\/p>\n

Every piece I make is unique.\u00a0 I make my own canes and murrini using a vitrigraph kiln in my garage.\u00a0 Other pieces are fused in one of the other kilns I have in my home studio.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once a piece is made, my husband Rob is often involved in making the bases and stands you see.\u00a0 He’s also the unofficial photographer of everything you see on this site.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
