Foster's Beauties
We are a Creative Family Business, specializing in handcrafting functional art in wood and/or fused glass. All our products are made in our Philadelphia-area home art studio, featuring three kilns, a lampworking area, a coldworking (glass) area, two lathes and many, many other woodworking tools! All of our tools are hand controlled and guided by our own eyes and experience: No computer numerically controlled production in our studio!
Scott is an expert woodturner, who makes magic on the lathe. He designs and handcrafts segmented and solid wood bowls using a variety of domestic and exotic woods. He also loves to work with glass, and is looking for opportunities to meld his two passions. An electrical engineer in his day job, he loves the creativity and freedom he has when he creates in the studio. In his free time, Scott roller skates competitively, and brought home two silver medals from the 2015 national figure roller skating championships.
Aviva combines kilnformed and flame-worked glass to make one-of-a-kind pieces. Since her first lampworking class in 2013, she has been mesmerized by the sight of molten glass and jumps on the torch at every opportunity. In her free time, she can be found reading science fiction and historical novels on her Kindle. She is currently learning how to knit.
Ellie, age 19, works with both wood and glass, and her latest passions are lettering and pyrography on woodturnings. All sales of her work, whether in our #MoltenMessages collection or in the #HeTurnsSheBurns line, help fund her education. She is currently studying linguistics at the University of York in England and making art in her free time.
Together, the three of us make up Foster's Beauties.
