 About Glenn and Michelle Kay
Glenn and Michelle Kay live and work in Canon City, Colorado, and have been creating these beautiful aspen art pieces for the past several years in their home workshop. Michelle is a Colorado native and her family has resided here for over 100 years. As residents of Colorado, they recognize the astounding beauty of their state and hope that visitors and fellow residents can appreciate Colorado as much as they do.
Perhaps the most amazing sight in Colorado is the gold found in the Rocky Mountains--not the gold that has been prospected over the centuries, but the glittering Aspen Trees. Their autumn leaves are a profoundly beautiful sight. Glenn and Michelle want to give you the opportunity to take a souvenir home, to remember the beautiful aspen trees. Each time you look at your handmade piece, it will bring you back to the Colorado Mountains. They cannot duplicate the astounding sight of the aspen trees, but they hope they can give you a memory that will last a life time. Their pieces capture a beauty that most people would never see, and symbolize that beauty is not only "bark" deep. Inside the white bark lies something remarkable, which they bring out in their strikingly beautiful vases and bowls.
Glenn and Michelle find, clear out, and use standing dead aspen trees. This allows the other vibrant living trees to flourish, so that both wildlife and sightseers can benefit from their beauty and abundance. Each raw piece of aspen log is hand-turned on a wood lathe and, as the piece of wood turns very quickly, is carved with a chisel into a bowl or vase. A "secret" finish, formulated by the Kays, creates a high gloss and keeps the wood from splitting. This secret finish is applied in three distinct steps to create a beautiful and durable product.
