Glass, like water, is a very fluid and dynamic medium. It can contain, surround, and magnify objects, creating magical effects to delight the eye and fascinate the imagination. Using these properties, Cathy Richardson is able to create beautiful, dynamic designs that are full of life, inviting you to look again and again into her world. She engages three-dimensional environments in paperweights and marbles that express meticulous attention to detail and her life-long love of nature.
Touchstone Glass is a family business located in Winona MN. Cathy designs the work and is assisted in its creation by her son, Colin, and husband, Steve. Touchstone Glass creations are sold to collectors and connoisseurs of fine glass by shops and galleries all over the U.S. as well as in Germany and New Zealand. Their work is also in the permanent collections at the Corning Museum of Glass and the Museum of American Glass. Their paperweights and marbles are exquisitely made pieces that you will enjoy for a lifetime.
