New line of wine decanters by epiphany glass studio to debut May 2015

PONTIAC, Mich. - April 8, 2015 - PRLog -- The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature glassblowing demonstrations and discounts on epiphany glass and StudioE pieces from noon to 6 p.m. each day at epiphany glass studio (http://www.epiphanyglass.com/), 770 Orchard Lake Road in Pontiac.

The new 2015 line of wine decanters includes six different, elegant designs made exclusively for the epiphany studio line.The studio initially launched the handcrafted decanters in 2009 after creating a custom piece for a Napa Valley winery.  The 2015 decanter line by epiphany studios includes six different designs, each priced at $300 with plans for a new design each year.

“Part of the process of decanting is ceremonial,” said epiphany glass artist and owner April Wagner.  “The presentation of the wine, looking at the color, it’s all part of the occasion.  Anyone can use a beautiful decanter for a special occasion or simply to celebrate with a group of friends.”

However, Wagner notes that she designed her new line of hand-blown glass decanters with the aeration process in mind.  Working with experts in the wine industry, she was able to translate their needs into a functional, beautiful art form.

The Spring Show will also feature guest artist Emily Donald of Dearborn, Mich., who will be in-studio with textile designs from her home goods line, Beacon & Batten (https://www.facebook.com/beaconandbatten).  Featuring patterns inspired by vintage textiles and wallpaper, each piece is designed, printed and sewn by Donald using natural materials and eco-friendly inks. During the Spring Show & Sale, her designs will be available on throw pillows and tea towels.  Donald previously freelanced for Wovenplay, a couture childrenswear studio in Brooklyn, NY. While there, she fell in love with the screen-printing process for garments and yardage.

epiphany studio is located at 770 Orchard Lake Rd. in Pontiac, 1/4 mile east of the intersection of Telegraph/Old Telegraph and Orchard Lake Rd, at the corner of Orchard Lake and Sylvan Ct.  The studio entrance is in the rear.  Call (248) 745-3786 for more information.
