Kiara Pelissier Photo Transfer Cup

We are so happy to host this work by Kiara Pelissier. This is a rare opportunity to purchase functional glassware from Pelissier. 

Part of a larger collection available during Alma's 1st ever Cup Show! This large group exhibition features artists at all points of their career from near and far. It is a celebration of the utilitarian vessel that brings drink to our mouths. Whether you choose a goblet, cup, mug, stein, short, tall, ceramic, glass or metal, we hope you will enjoy in good health and happiness.

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.
