Houston Llew started his enameling journey in a modest garage in Atlanta, inspired by the challenges of the great recession. Under the guidance of master enamelist Zingaro, he developed his unique art form, Spiritiles. His creations, born from relentless experimentation and a simple 'ramen and beer' lifestyle, showcase his tenacity and innovative spirit. Characterized by uplifting themes and creative storytelling, Houston's work aims to bring hope and connection, making each piece more than just art – it's a narrative of resilience and inspiration.

 

Each Spiritile is meticulously handcrafted in Houston Llew's Atlanta studio. The process involves applying glass on metal with stencils and precise layering. Unique to Houston's technique is a single firing and rolling a pin post-firing to create light-enhancing crazing marks. These pieces defy traditional methods for a luminous effect. Versatile in display, Spiritiles can be hung, stand freely, and are durable enough for high humidity and sunlight, making them perfect for various settings.
