Location: #2 on map, Coldwater Mill, 1 Mill St., Coldwater (905) 944-2750 clwaterson@sympatico.ca Catherine has always been fascinated with stained glass and has made windows for several years, concentrating on the copper foil technique. Recently, she began working with fused glass, making pendants that can be worn as unique pieces of jewellery, hung with a ribbon on a Christmas tree, or attached as a charm to a parcel for a hostess gift. Her pendents are made by layering glass and then firing in the kiln. The majority of her pieces are 'fully fused', meaning they are fully slumped and joined together. There are a few pieces that are 'tack fused'; this is where the glass pieces adhere to each other, however, rather than slumping together, they retain their individual shapes and textures. She includes a variety of glass in her pieces ranging from opalescent to cathedral to dicroic, and includes copper inserts, sepia and gold decals. Recently she has begun working with beads and wire to crochet to create necklaces and bracelets, and weaving copper and sterling silver rings to create chain maille bracelets.
