Artists Harry and Kathleen Boyer play with color every day. Kathy sketches pieces of art and Harry turns them into glass. Boyer Glassworks in Harbor Springs is their playground. And what a colorful playground it is.

The two Ohio natives studied art in college and opened their studio in downtown Harbor Springs in 1984. This is a working studio where visitors can watch Harry as he takes molten glass and transforms them into vases, paperweights, Christmas ornaments, and art objects like colorful fish and lamps. Visiting this gallery is a combination of awe at the art that Harry and Kathleen have created and excitement over the colors and vibrancy of the glasswork.

Kathleen also spends time creating paintings and they are often of flowers or nature that have captured her eye. The walls of this gallery are filled with Kathleen's art and the shelves contain Harry's glass. The artists work together on the glass design and experiment with new techniques that test their creative skills. Harry is a glassblower that continually works to include old techniques to new art designs and new techniques to ancient designs.

Entering Boyer Glassworks is an experience of its own: during the warm weather months, the garden includes not only colorful flowers but large, intricate glass in spectacular form such as a bird bath. Visiting this Northern Michigan art gallery and studio is an experience that will inspire and delight.
