Founded in 1999, Maxfield Glass is the creation of glass fusionist Susan Maxfield. Maxfield Glass has brought beauty and enjoyment to clients throughout the US. and abroad. Utilizing torches and kilns to make the glass molten, each of Maxfield Glass? one-of-a-kind pieces begins with hand cut, broken, pulled and ground parts of glass and other elements.

Through a variety of techniques and processes, Maxfield Glass blends texture, contrast and the unexpected to offer a series of different styles of glass art, including irregular shapes and woven and layered patterns. Susan selects the shapes and then creates each unique piece, in the moment, before placing on the kiln shelf. Through a series of firings, a new piece of glass is formed and finally coaxed into its ultimate shape. Susan uses iridized finishes as well as dichroic and metallic materials that allow pieces to dance in the light.

Leveraging her skills in painting, Susan often uses another process that involves fusing hundreds of pieces of glass into a thick network resembling an abstract painting. Colors and shapes appear suspended amid translucent glass and come alive, with the piece changing composition through movement and light.

Susan derives great joy from creating fine art objects that demand growth in her techniques, skill and creativity. To that end, Maxfield Glass aims to create an inspirational range of fused glass art that is accessible and affordable to everyone ? from consumers to buyers from fine art galleries.
