Hi, my name is Sabrina Baissas and Fox & Clover is my studio. I create graphic works of glass that combine modern design with natural, wild imagery.

I started working in traditional stained glass during a yearlong apprentice-style education in Paris, France in 2005. Here I learned the nearly-forgotten art of medieval kilnfired glass enameling, where enamels are hand-painted onto glass then fired at 1300 degrees in a kiln. In 2007 I began to adapt glass enameling to dishware and jewelry. I discovered that this ancient technique fits gracefully into modern décor.

My interest in nature comes from my childhood in Minnesota’s beautiful St. Croix river valley, where fireflies, beavers, oaks and owls were the backdrop of my daily life. After high school I left home for ten years. I lived in urban areas like Paris, Sydney, Singapore and San Diego. In these cities I frequented great architecture, boutiques and museums and acquired an appetite for modern urban design.

Now I have returned to Minnesota and rekindled my love of nature. I’ve opened my studio, Fox & Clover. I continue to invent new and clever ways to present nature through modern enameled glass. I also have a strong interested in sustainable design, so I am learning to work with recycled glass and researching other ways to work with reused materials.
