While they have built a loyal following for their various series, such as the pumpkins or the larger than life fruit, Stone says her and Cohn will be making a few changes in what they focus on. “Michael and I both want to make more one-of-a-kind pieces and sculptural things,” she reveals. “We are doing less of what we call production pieces, so we won’t have pumpkins anymore. We may do a special piece in that series in the future, but for right now we are not working on them.” loyal fans should not worry. “We’ll continue to work out of our studio and have open houses to allow the public to see what we are working on and purchase our work,” Stone assures. In between their open houses, studio hours will continue to be by appointment and she urges clients who want to stay up to date on studio happenings to sign up for their newsletter on their website. Whether it’s her birds or flowers, the beloved pumpkins, or one-of-a-kind pieces, Stone says she “can’t imagine doing anything else. Glass work is just so much a part of who Michael and I are. We are both hands-on people and can’t imagine not creating—when I create time stands still.” 22 MARKETPLACEcontrac osta .com february 2015 Right in the heaRt of downtown neaR the napa town CenteR tasting Room houRs: Sunday -Thursday 11am-6pm Friday-Saturday 11am-6pm (& Beyond) Family owned and operated since 1973-Family Farmers in Napa Valley since 1845 1245 fiRst stReet • napa 707-254-1922 www.CappheRitage.Com
