Fénix Glassworks sells Liz Wellbeloved's glass creations.
“I bought a bottle cutter in May as a way to have a creative outlet during all of the at home time during Covid. I started out making wind chimes, then added drinking glasses, candles, vases, and lights. The steps involved, from scoring the glass and hoping for a clean break, to sanding, to figuring out the best use of each bottle, have become easier as I've learned to get to know the bottles. Clear glass can be a pain, Stella bottles break like a charm, and there are some great beer labels out there! After a very difficult life experience in 2017, the phoenix has become a spirit animal for me and a reminder that from destruction good things do come. Fénix Glassworks is a way for me to give new life to bottles salvaged from the recycling bin and to turn trash into something beautiful. I hope people like what I create as much as I like making each item.”
