Kiku
At Kiku Handmade, artist Laurie Freivogel has been creating screen printed, fused glass home goods since 2004. Her colorful and contemporary coasters, serving pieces and accessories are printed by hand with bold graphics, botanical drawings, pop-culture personalities and iconic city landmarks. After she creates her artwork, she screen prints them with glass enamels onto colorful sheet glass (made in the USA by Bullseye Glass), then fuses them in a kiln in multiple firings. Each batch is made to order by Laurie in her tiny studio just outside Chicago.
