A Mind 4 Design

Just another WordPress weblog

meandmyboysFor those who don’t know me, my name is kB Miller and I am a glass artist located in Claremont, New Hampshire. I’ve lived in Claremont all of my life and while I’ve traveled to countries such as Bermuda, England, Mexico, Newfoundland and beyond, I’ve always loved coming home – the beauty of New England inspires art, not only in me but the multitude of talented artists that call her home.

My small and very quaint studio is located on our property and was lovingly created by my husband Christopher. You’ll see my studio in much of my artwork, including mystudiomy logo and packaging and much of my free time is spent within its four walls. We share our home with our two teenage sons, our yellow lab and four cats and when not working in the studio I can often be found spending time with my family outdoors walking /hiking in the woods and enjoying the fresh air.

While this site focuses on glass and lampworking, my business “A Mind 4 Design” encompasses a variety of genres including graphic design & precious metal clay. My journey with glass began in 2004 after I was introduced to the art during a weekend class offered at the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen. Sally Prasch, a renowned glass artist, was visiting the area teaching a beginner lampworking class and from the moment the first flint sparked, it ignited not only the flame but my passion for the art as well.  It wasn’t until June of 2007, when my husband retired and turned his old shed into my studio that my dream to own my own torch and creative space came to fruition. I’ve been creating ever since and continue to learn and study this beautiful art. I’ve had the good fortune of learning from Sally again when I visited the Snow Farm, an artist retreat, in Massachusetts this past spring. I strive to learn new techniques and master the ones I know and hope that my beads bring as much joy to those that buy them as it does to me when creating them.
