About studioTica

Born in the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of Costa Rica, my journey began in the heart of a tropical paradise. My adventure led me to the United States—first as an exchange student, and later as a wife, where I ventured into the captivating world of glass and glassmaking. Drawn by the allure of transforming molten glass into stunning creations, studioTica emerged as a tribute to my Costa Rican heritage. Each time I peer into the kiln, the glowing, lava-like glass transports me back to my childhood, where the heat and power of active volcanoes were a constant presence. Handmade glass possesses a unique charm that captivates the soul. Each piece, born from the intense heat of the kiln, carries with it a story of creation and transformation. The subtle variations in color and form, the intricate patterns formed by hand, and the delicate balance of strength and fragility all contribute to the unparalleled beauty of these artisanal creations. Handmade glass is not just a material; it is an expression of the artist’s passion, a testament to the power of human creativity, and a celebration of the art of glassmaking. With studioTica, I create unique, one-of-a-kind functional masterpieces that celebrate the beauty and strength found in intense heat combined with delicate craftsmanship. Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope you find as much joy in these handcrafted pieces as I do in creating them. Warmly, FannyRead their story
