About the Maker

Garden Shed Glass

Garden Shed Glass is the brainchild of Australian-born, Californian-based artist, designer and entrepreneur Charne Morris.

After a stained glass purchase gone wrong compelled the designer to create her own pieces, Morris commenced work on exploring her new-found passion (and obsession) with glass, colour and light.

Now living in California's foothills, Morris stepped away from the corporate world in 2023 to pursue her artistic passions full-time and set-up her studio... in her garden shed.

Morris says... "While the space may be small, the vision is large, with many functional and decorative designs already created. For me, working with glass is a meditative experience and allows me to explore my creativity, connect deeply with myself, and find meaning in what I am making."

Drawing inspiration from nature, colour theory, and mid-century design, Morris uses a combination of quality metals, found materials, and new and vintage glass in her works.

Each stained-glass piece begins with an original sketch and a careful choice of glass for its colour, texture and response to light. Morris cuts and grinds the individual shapes, wraps their edges in copper foil and solders them together before cleaning and polishing the finished work. This small-batch, hands-on process allows the variations in new and vintage glass to become part of each design, with its appearance shifting as the light changes throughout the day.

That Retro Piece is excited to partner with Garden Shed Glass in a series of designs made especially for our customer base, sold exclusively here in Australia.
