Michele's Looking Glass

Hi, my name is Michele. I love what I do and believe that it reflects in my work. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I prefer to do everything myself. I have recently opened my studio in Mellons Bay, Auckland and would welcome your support. Prior to that, I had a studio in South Africa for 15 years, which also specialized in Custom Picture Framing and Sandblasting.

I have a wide range of exquisite frames and mat boards and can use subtle decorative techniques to turn your items into something unique. Where appropriate, conservation techniques and methods can be used. By using a visualization program, I can immediately show you the impact design changes will have on your artwork/item, as well as the price implications. This makes it easier to work within a budget.

I'm also particularly passionate about Glass Etching (Sandblasting). By combining various techniques such as carving, shading, flat blasting and texturing, the design possibilities are endless. The beauty of sandblasting is that it delivers is a subtle, permanent finish on glass, and besides looking stunning, it can enhance privacy. I can help you with larger items such as doors, windows, deck panels and mirrors and items as small as wine glasses, beer mugs, coasters etc.
