Kiku Handmade has carved a creative niche at the intersection of kiln glass and printmaking. Relying on a knack for color and composition, artist Laurie Freivogel uses glass as a multilayered canvas for her enamel printed home goods. Laurie designs and makes by hand each of her pieces in her Oak Park, Illinois studio by screen printing her artwork onto colorful sheet glass, then fusing in her kiln. Products range from coasters and trivets, to platters and plates, to vessels like bowls and vases that are as functional as they are pretty. Laurie specializes in city-centric and custom designs.
