These coral polyps  are a best seller at Alma's brick in mortar and now you can mount them directly to your wall!  They come with a screw mount, so all you have to do is drill a hole. With 24k gold leaf encapsulated in the glass, they sparkle dance. Made by Richmond favorite, Kiara Pelissier.

Each piece will be unique. The approximate size range in diameter from 3" - 4.5".

Kiara's work is about the silent conversation between objects and elements and how a piece breathes within the space around it. Every form, texture, line, and color speaks in a different voice. Translucency searches for a dialogue with light. Kiara's inspirations may change, but one thing remains the same: her focus on bringing forth the soul of a material.

Pelissier earned her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. She has taught glassblowing at VCU, Penland School of Crafts and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Her work is in the collection of the Museum of American Glass and many one-of-a-kind pieces, limited edition series, and permanent installations can be found in public and private collections throughout Richmond and the East Coast, including Capital One Bank, Markel Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
