Glass, fused
slow, in a Texas barn —
now live online.
A one-artist fused-glass studio in central Texas. A working twelve-piece catalog, a reserve-this-piece lead pipeline, and a real production website — built in a weekend, shipped in time for Mother's Day.
What I was
handed.
Amy works fused glass out of a barndominium in central Texas — wall panels, sun-catchers, sculptural bowls, twelve-piece batches fired across two or three days. She had no website. Etsy made the work look generic. Instagram made it disposable. A gallery buyer asking "where can I see more?" got handed an Instagram link and a shrug.
The brief: a real catalog with a real photograph for every piece, a way for buyers to reserve a piece without negotiating cart software, and a single email address that goes to a human. Launch in time for Mother's Day weekend.
What I
did.
- 01
Three design directions presented up front, all credibly Amy's — Barn & Kiln (workshop), Stained Light (ecclesiastical), Quiet Gallery (museum). Amy picked Quiet Gallery in twenty seconds.
- 02
Restraint as the discipline. Warm bone background, ink black for the type, a single ruby accent that only ever shows inside the work itself.
- 03
Cormorant Garamond for editorial display voice, Work Sans for the small print. The site looks like the studio looks.
- 04
Twelve pieces in the launch catalog. Each gets its own page with reserve / inquire flow. Commissions page collects open-ended requests.
- 05
Email routed through Resend so a note from a buyer becomes a real reply-able message in Amy's inbox within seconds. Cloudflare Pages hosting, custom domain, SSL.
That's mine.
