Recycled Glassworks takes junked plate glass windows and turns them into attractive plates.' San Francisco Chronicle.Recycled Glassworks creates functional artwork from used windows.Unique plates – for both festive and everyday settings,Attractive bowls – for salads, fruit, flowers,Artful platters – serving pieces … conversation pieces.Recycled Glassworks specializes in the production of handmade, unique dishes and bowls.Every piece is cut from used window-type glass, and kiln-fired over molds that give them their new form, as well as a brand new life.I have always loved functional art that is not only great to look at, but also enriches your day-to-day routines. In 1996, I started Recycled Glassworks because glass is a wonderful material, both for re-use and for tableware.My work does not consume any brand-new materials (even my packing materials are reused). Yet the resulting dishes look look new and fresh. Plenty of glass exists already; it does not degrade over time. Bottle glass has an established recycling infrastructure. Plate glass, however, ends up in landfill, unless it gets upcycled into a second life.
