Well Hello November...

It's was  my  #Twitterversary... November 17th! Seems funny to even think about it! 

Funny a million years ago this word probably never existed, but twitter reminded me. May be it's time to go out and have a great dinner...

I have quite a number if events coming up! I do try to keep my website updated but sometimes life takes over. For the most upto date schedule please email me at akoko@akokoart.com....

Hope you are having a great month.

Mingle all the way into Christmas!

We all want to give a unique gift that will be remembered year-round. When it comes down to gifts, generally most people love personalized gifts. It always amazes me at just how much people love seeing their name on any item! Be it a fragrance bottle or a candle holder...it just adds that "WOW" factor to the recipient. For the upcoming holiday I am offering free personalization upto 10 words free with any item purchased! Please feel feel to email me with any questions...

Below are some of my favorite pieces for gift ideas...

It's never too early to start holiday shopping!

Galaxy of Glass, Fallbrook Art Center Gallery

Galaxy of Glass opened in Fallbrook on the September 6th! I had a really great opening night so far and just want to say thank you to all who came out to support the Show! 

This very popular exhibition and sale features works by 18 artists of the West Coast Glass Scene including master flame workers utilizing the traditions of the Venetians and contemporary freeform blown glass and assemblages.

  What an opening night we had for the Galaxy of Glass – at least 250 in attendance....quite impressive!
