This is the piece that inspired this first Online Auction to Benefit ANC’s Carr Fire Scholarship Fund. (Click here to read how it all started.)
Donated by aNewsCafe.com’s own Deborah Segelitz, she commissioned Paul Jones, world-famous Welsh glass artist, of Phoenix Glass, to create the first piece for ANC’s first Carr Fire Scholarship benefit.
This Carr Fire Phoenix measures 3 inches by 3 inches, a stunning diminutive piece that springs to life from the ashes in bright red, yellow and orange.
The Carr Fire Phoenix is already a world-traveler; created in Wales, sent to Scotland, and then mailed to Redding, Calif, especially for this auction.
Thank you, Deb, for this generous and heart-felt contribution donation all the way from Scotland.
Thank you, Paul, for creating such a perfect phoenix piece from your Phoenix Glass studio in Wales.
