What A Pane Glass Studio. Custom designed residential and commercial stained glass installations and restoration.

Lisa Hanley, owner of What A Pane, has been working with stained glass since 1998. She is also a potter and a photographer. Working closely with her clients, she strives to bring forth the visions they have in mind, creating evocative pieces specific to the individual environment in which they will be placed. She also takes on restoration work of pieces that have been damaged by time or mishandling. While she admits that she goes through a lot of Band-Aids, she will also tell you that her work is incredibly rewarding and entirely worth it. In addition to her installations, she makes kaleidoscopes and recreates children's art work in glass, using the child's work as the pattern, returning the original unharmed. You may reach Lisa at: (360)527-3605 or WhatAPaneGlass@aol.com

Cindy Sherwin of Long Term Care Solutions specializes in finding affordable solutions for the high cost of custodial care. That is the kind of care you will need when you’re sick or aging and have trouble performing the activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing and eating.  Using long term care insurance or other solutions to pay caregivers allows you to stay in your home longer, which is where most people prefer to be when they need care.

Domestic partner discounts are available, and can save you as much as 40% of your annual premium.  Because I am independent and represent many companies, I am able to shop for the best possible combination of benefits with the most affordable premiums.

Amazon Earthworks

Marguerite Kotwitz - Master Potter: “When I combine clay, stones, feathers and other natural elements in my work, I am weaving the web and telling the story. We remember and reclaim the vital heritage of womyn as artists, creators of culture.”

Marguerite has been creating in clay since 1965. A forerunner in the contemporary women's art movement and reclamation of matriarchal symbols. Marguerite founded the matrifocal studio of Amazon Earthworks in the early seventies. “I decided to combine the words of Amazon (i.e., strong womyn) and Earthworks (i.e., clay from Mother Earth) to express my art.”

Early on she focused on being a storyteller in clay and specializes in vessels that incorporate rich, strong matriarchal imagery and the sacred in nature. “I take great pride in knowing that through clay I'm continuing a tradition started by womyn thousands of years ago. And I hold true to my dedication to keeping handmade pottery alive in an age of mechanization and mass production.”
