Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Winter Sunsets
With our unique South facing shoreline, we in Beaufort are one of the few places on the East Coast where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets over the water. In the winter they are spectacular. Here are a few.

Lisa Oakley
Lisa Oakley began blowing glass in 1994 when she immediately fell in love with the heat and fluidity of molten glass. She knew that glass was the creative outlet for which she had been searching and went on to build the first hot glass art studio in eastern North Carolina.
Much of Lisa's inspiration comes from the complexity of colors and patterns found in nature. Her work conveys a feeling of organic movement and texture, both visual and tactile.
Her work includes both decorative and functional vases, bowls and platters. She is also one of the few American glassblowers making furnace-pulled glass beads, which she then uses to create her own original line of jewelry.
Lisa graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina with a B.A. in Psychology. She has studied glassblowing at Penland School of Crafts with instructors including Robert Levin, Norwegian glassblower Willy Aanderson, Robert Gardner, Ken Carder, Joe Nielander, Charles Correll, Gary Beecham, and Dudley Giberson among others. She also studied glass in Japan.
Lisa is member of the Glass Art Society and is an exhibiting member of Carolina Designer Craftsmen Guild.
