Victoria born Kathy Nelson has been sculpting glass since 1976. Imagination and requests keep creativity flowing with finishing touches of 22K gold and silver highlights, frost or colours.
Victoria lamps with hanging baskets, miniatures on amethyst and Wedding cake tops are of the items that are most popular.
Formerly a tour director, Kathy travelled coast to coast in Canada and the United States. Reno, being a big tour favourite of Victorians, enabled Kathy to meet the Nelson family of glassblowers of Virginia City, where she later trained and apprenticed. Although not related, the Nelson family and Kathy are very close. The Nelsons now live in Verdi, Nevada
Kathy operates her cottage industry, with husband Glen, from a lovely studio. Her work, which has been taken all over the world, is only sold in a few fine stores and is now available on the Web.
