Crystal: Trezora Glass.
Mendy: Reflect your inner fire.
Crystal: I love glass. It�s captivating. It�s beautiful it�s sparkly, it�s engaging.
Mendy: Trezora is really about mystery, it�s about discovery, it�s about bringing beauty and, and just the quality…

Crystal: Dichroic is a Greek word. “di” for two, and “chroic” for color or chroma (laughs) chroma, for color, so it�s dichroic. It�s a word that�s come to symbolize the whole art of fusing glass. All fused glass is not dichroic, and I think that�s another thing that sets us apart is that we do a whole line in fused glass that doesn�t have any dichroic elements in it. What makes it dichroic are the metallic oxides that are adhered to the glass under a heat treatment in a big vacuum chamber, and we like to use that as an element of a design, but not by any means all of the design.

Mendy: Dichroic glass can be used in not just fused glass, but it can be used in blown glass, it can be used in lots of different places.

Crystal: Sometimes when you take it up to that kind of a heat, especially when your going above 1500, the glass is in charge at that point, because it�s going to go and there is nothing you can do about it until it cools down enough to open it up enough to say, “WOW” or “wow”. But most of the time we know what were getting, and, but what makes it really interesting is sometimes you get those surprises and after you analyze it and figure out what happened, and why did it do that, then you go in that direction and try to repeat that and, and try to get it to do something, maybe even go further.

Mendy: It�s got texture, it�s got color, it�s got this whole dimensionality to it that you can�t find in any medium. Nobody walks around wearing a painting on their finger for example, um their you know, when we talk about it being wearable art, it really is that, its� each piece unique. And I think that�s what draws people in. We�re living in a world now where everything is made a million times, uh, and it all looks the same. Well here you have the opportunity to not just look, but potentially buy something that is not just a unique part of us, it also can become a unique part of you as well.

Crystal: A perfect piece would be, where I felt like the colors were perfect, the shape was perfect, the perfect person bought it. People walk up and say, “oh I feel happy looking at this. This makes me feel happy”.

Mendy: Yeah, I couldn�t agree more. I mean at the end of the day maybe they�re buying what Crystal and I have with each other, you know. They�re buying happiness, and, and I think it�s part of that energy that we share, that were able to put into this work and there is no better way of saying it. We�re selling happiness.

Crystal: When I look at a piece of glass I see beauty, I see fire, I see um, an intriguing aspect of, I think, the person that ends up wearing it at the end.

Mendy: When I look at a piece of glass I see endless possibilities.

Crystal: Some of the things people are saying about my art is, “I�ve never seen any kind of work like this before. I see a lot of fused and dichroic glass jewelry and I have never seen any work like this before”.

Mendy: It is our art. It is a true reflection of the synergy between Crystal and I. It�s a mixture of her incredible sense of color and my sense of technique and some of my aesthetic sense.

He�s Mendy.
She�s Crystal.
And were Trezora Glass. (Laughing)
