About Yasmin & her glass art
Yasmin Brown is a self-taught artist who has been creating since childhood. She moved to Pennsylvania in 1996 with her husband and is a stay-at-home mom raising their three children.
Yasmin works with dichroic glass to create jewelry and decorative house wares. Dichroic glass is produced when layers of metallic oxides are deposited on the surface of glass causing some wavelengths of light to pass thru the glass while others are reflected back. You will find yourself enchanted as you observe this play of light across its surface.
Each beautiful dichroic glass creation is an original handcrafted work-of-art. Pieces are made by cutting & layering glass to a desired design & then kiln-firing. Variations in firing time & temperature combined with diverse melting points for the types & colors of glass used cause the resultant product to be one-of-a-kind. The glass is then shaped & modified. Lastly, it is fire polished to restore its luster & all finishing work is done to complete the work-of-art.
Yasmin’s hope is that the owner of her art gets as much joy from it as she received during its creation. May her pieces make your spirit dance!
