About Laurel Grey Glassworks

My work is influenced by komorebi—a Japanese word that describes the way sunlight filters through leaves. That quiet, calming moment under a tree guides the way these pieces interact with light, movement, and space, inviting a sense of presence and ease into everyday environments. I create contemporary glass leaf strands and ornaments in Door County, Wisconsin. Each leaf is hand-painted and kiln-fired, then suspended to respond naturally to light and air movement, creating shifting patterns of color and shadow. Designed for indoor and outdoor spaces, these pieces bring a subtle sense of calm to homes, porches, windows, and garden-adjacent areas—offering a gentle reminder to slow down and notice the beauty already around us.Read their story
