How much of the ashes are required to create something?
For most orders, we only require a single tbsp. of the ashes (total) to make between 7-10 different pieces. Our rings and pendants utilize roughly 1/4 tsp. per item, while our paperweights and suncatchers each use around 1/2 tsp. When ordering from multiple artists, please send 1 tbsp. of ashes to each corresponding artist. This is to ensure each artist has enough ashes to extract the usable material.
How do I know which artists are making my order?
Each item description states which artist makes that particular item. If you are unsure of which artist is making your order, please review the listing for that item. You may also call or email us to confirm.
How long does it take to complete an order?
Please review your artists calling card found on the Artist Information page for their current turnaround.
How do I properly mail cremated remains?
1) The package is sent via Priority Mail Express.
2) The identity of the contents "Cremated Remains" should be marked on the address side of the parcel.
3) Ashes should be mailed in double (2) zip-lock bags. This ensures that the remains won’t escape from their containers and cause damage, discomfort, destruction, or soiling.
4) Please clearly write your full name (not the name of the deceased) and telephone number on the actual zip-lock bag in permanent marker so our staff can easily identify your package.
5) Optional: A photograph and letter about your loved one. We would love to know about their life, personality, character etc. Whatever you feel like sharing, we want to hear about it 💙
Can you use more than one set of ashes to make a single piece?
Yes, we can use multiple sets of ashes to create individual items. There is no extra charge for this. You may send the ashes premixed or separated. Whichever is easiest for you. Please be sure to include a note in your package so our artists are clear on how to create your items.
What will happen to the unused portion of the ashes?
If you're working with artist Chris Santora, your ashes will be safely stored at his studio for future orders. For all other artists, they are instructed to hold onto the ashes for up to 3 months before scattering them locally. We're committed to handling your loved one's ashes with the utmost care and respect throughout the entire process. The US Post Office requires cremated remains be sent Priority Express Mail.

Using the same ancient glassmaking technique perfected by NASA years ago for spacecraft windows, Joele hand-cuts and fires each dichroic stone, then works them to perfection through a labor-intensive process that takes days to complete. The result is a mesmerizing display of shifting colors and sparkling patterns that mimic the twinkling of stars in the night sky.
Meet Joele (pronounced Joe-Lee), a professional artist, art teacher, and mom with a passion for kiln-formed glass. Originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, Joele moved to Arcata, California, where she honed her skills as an artist and art teacher, becoming an integral part of the Fire Arts Center community art workshop. She resided in Arcata for over a decade before relocating to her home in the mountains of Gold Hill Oregon.
Joele is a veteran glass artist with over 17 years of experience in kiln-formed glass. Her interest in working with cremation ash started when a friend's father passed away and was asked to create something special with the ashes. After spending over three years studying cremation ash and its effects inside kiln-formed glass, Joele began offering her services for free to family and friends. Following her mother's passing, Joele felt a calling to make her cremation art available to the public.
