A scatter of islands a mile north of Venice, joined by bridges across narrow canals. In 1291 the Republic ordered every glassmaker out of the city; the furnaces were burning the wooden palaces down. Seven centuries later the fornaci along the Fondamenta dei Vetrai still pull molten glass at dawn, and the campanile of Santi Maria e Donato still rises above the lagoon water as it has since the twelfth century. The vaporetto from Fondamente Nove takes ten minutes. People come for an afternoon and stay until the light goes orange on the brick.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
