Creating Exclusive Handcrafted Original Works of Art as a labor of Love…
For over 30 + years as a slump or gravity glass artist Michael K has been creating and producing his passion for color and design with glass, winning numerous awards and recognition for his fine art.
Michael started his journey in the mid 80’s working in ceramics, designing and selling with a Los Angeles, CA ceramic studio. Then in the 90’s he became deeply inspired by the incredible beauty and diversity of glass, so he shifted their focus from ceramics to slumping glass and creating his unique vases with the studio.
By the early 2000’s Michael opened “Michael K Original’s” allowing his art and creative interests to expand towards designing and creating incredibly beautiful large works of glass art on his own; including his all-original dimensional statement pieces for walls large and small as well as commissioned custom art pieces for individuals and businesses. “Michael K Originals” has become a successful art business and this in and of itself, fosters his creative passion through his customers' love of his gravity glass art.
As fate would have it, in 2019 Michael reconnected with a past love, Sandra. She joined him in his business, creating a bit of art and managing the business side of things. They were married in 2025 and continue to work together bringing Gravity Glass Art to you.
In Michael’s word’s …
“I love to create shapes within the glass that form embossed images. I use paints, metal leafing, copper wire, and other materials within and on my glass art. When I combine the embossed glass and these other materials, my designs are more dimensional yet structural. I’m inspired by nature and express it through a contemporary design eye by combining nature like driftwood, seashells and other natural influences in my art. I truly enjoy helping clients with unique designs created just for their home.”
In Sandra’s word’s…
“Expressing artistically through the medium of glass has been a new and exciting creative adventure for me. I have been able to combine my ceramic art designing with the gravity glass bringing another natural flair to our Art. Having interior design experience and a love for design, I too thoroughly enjoy assisting our clients in creating the perfect piece for their home sanctuary”.
