Carol Korfin – a.k.a. The Glass Giraffe

Creating one-of-a-kind fused glass art, Carol Korfin chose her company name by “fusing” her love of all things giraffe with her love of glass art.  She has a giraffe collection numbering over 150 pieces in her home.

Living in San Diego since 1981, she has been driven by a passion for designing.  Carol became hooked on glass soon after retiring and  began creating more pieces than her hands (and kiln) could handle.  Each glass art piece is created and designed from her voluminous imagination using the finest quality glass.  Using  a variety of glass types – such as translucent, opaque, dichroic, iridescent, frit, millefiore, confetti, rods, stringers and noodles, her pieces are limited only by inspiration and the size of her  kiln, which happens to be pretty big.

Pendants, bowls, wall creations and decorative pieces are created for the most discerning buyer and can be found  in galleries in San Diego County. 

Currently she is in the Off Track Gallery, located in the Lumberyard Center, Encinitas and Let’s Go Home, Del Mar area.  Come by and browse a variety of creations and muse at her whimsical  interpretations in glass.

Active in numerous art organizations; San Dieguito Art Guild, Coastal Artists; Art Glass Association of Southern California in Spanish Village, Balboa Park; San Diego Museum of Art, Artists Guild in Balboa Park; Allied Artists Association of San Diego; and Sargent Art Group, she consistently seeks outlets for her wonderful creations.  Proud of her pieces, she looks forward to you having you adopt one of her creations to take  home to live with you.
