Nicole Whitney has infused new life into discarded glass with her artistic handmade pottery and created elegant recycled products in colors and items that fit a range of tastes and home décor. Incorporating many of the traditional pottery techniques in glass fused ceramics process, and then adding broken pieces of recycled glass for the kiln to melt results in dazzling pottery and glass products.
All the unique and exquisite pieces are handmade by collecting glass jars, beer and wine bottles, and other discarded glass. Nicole uses this discarded material, which would otherwise go in the trash, brilliantly by breaking and merging them with pottery to get glass products that are perfect for green gifts, jewelry and home decor.
Nicole’s understanding of social responsibility and firm belief in the eco-friendly practices gave birth to ‘Recycled Glass Fused Paloma Pottery’ in January 2000. Even you could order any of the 40 different sparkling products from her online store. These affordable low priced green products are also available in stores across the US, including the Pacific Northwest Whole Food Markets.
