COMPANY MISSION / OUR "MANTRA"

What does Mantra mean to the artist? A Mantra is an act of sending out a positive force into the world through our hands, our voice, or artistic expression in the hope that those positive energies can one day be returned.  Jessica has been fascinated by the physics and molecular science of glass for years and has a very particular mission for her company.
