Hello, my name is Sonia Colombo and I'd like to welcome you to The Glass Forest Studio. It is a tiny studio near the shores of Lake St. Clair in Tecumseh, Ontario. My first exposure to mosaics took place when I was a young girl. My mother would sometimes take me with her when she went visiting and most of the time it was quite boring if there were no other children at the home we were visiting; however, there was one elderly couple that I didn't mind visiting because to me their backyard was magical. I would roam around it while the adults chatted inside and I remember being enthralled by the birdbaths and the flower pots that were covered with colourful tiles. Of course, at the time, I didn't know they were mosaics. I just knew they were beautiful and to me, a little magical. The fascination for mosaics never left me and now I am quite happy to be able create my own works.
I strive to create things that combine my love of nature with the amazing colours and beauty of stained glass. Whether I'm working in mosaics or with wire and glass, each of my pieces is unique and hopefully, brings some of the joy I feel in creating it, to you.
