Meet the Artist

Hi, I’m Karen.

Owner & artist of 2 Gray Hares

I come from a large family and have enjoyed crafting since I was a child. I started glass fusing in 2022, and I have been needle felting all of my life. My husband, the other Gray Hare, makes the wooden stands and is my muse. :)

Our story

The story behind 2 Gray Hares

A round fused glass landscape of white aspen trees with yellow leaves and red poppies
Fall aspens, in layered kiln glass.

01 How it started

A lifelong love of nature, in glass.

Crafting all of my life! Fused glass lets me bring my lifelong love of nature into a luminous medium. Over the past 4 years it has become a deeply personal exploration of the natural world, from the delicate, fluid motion of jellyfish to majestic, sweeping mountain scenes.

My multi-seasonal forest settings use layered kiln glass to evoke the changing moods of the wilderness, with rich texture, vibrant color and a real sense of dimension.

I also make custom work that translates love and legacy into glass: memorial pieces that honor the spirit of beloved animals, and ocean wave designs that gracefully incorporate the ashes of loved ones.

02 Where & how it’s made

Layered by hand, fused in the kiln

Each piece is built up from layers of glass, then fired so the colors melt together.

  1. Layer. Glass, shards and colored frit are placed by hand, often with tweezers.
  2. Fuse. The layers are fired in the kiln into one luminous piece.
  3. Stand. Many pieces sit in a wooden stand made by my husband, the other Gray Hare.
