An article about our lovely collaboration with @museumofcraftanddesign came out in @craftcouncil magazine today! Give it a read on the ACC page, or coming soon in the print edition! . Lemons available @museumofcraftanddesign / Bowls by @wattmesley / by @brynnalexis . Repost from @craftcouncil... These luscious-looking lemons aren't for squeezingthey're made of glass by artisans atPublic Glass, San Francisco’s unique nonprofit, public-access glass studio and school. They’re made by the cast-glass process, finished with sandblasting to create a matte, lemon-rind feel, and on sale exclusively at theMuseum of Craft and Design. Under the headingLemons to Lemon-Aid, MCD is giving 20% of the proceeds to Public Glass in order to put glass artisans back to work.

You know how 90% of the time when you photograph glass you think to yourself man, this image really doesn’t do it justice...? That is not the case if you work with @maylightstudio. Krista is the secret weapon behind the rapid success of PG Originals. Her professionalism, dedication and genuine passion for capturing the magic of glass through a lens is unparalleled. All of her images for Public Glass are of a quality that compels others to take our objects as seriously as we... do. If it is within your power to have your glass photographed by @maylightstudio, do. It is worth every bit of the investment, and then some! Thank you Krista, more than we can say. . Editors note: Krista is not responsible for the awkward cropping in some of these group shots. Blame Instagram, then blame us. Reason #352 why we need @maylightstudios . #supportsmallbusiness #glassphotography #maylightstudios #womanownedbusiness #bayareabusiness #investinyourself #pgoriginals #publicglass See more
