Kato began her artistic career working with clay and mixed media. Fred began as a silversmith fabricating jewelry and holloware.

We both have studied at Haystack School of Crafts, Rochester Institute of Technology and the Corning Museum of Glass. After working together as apprentices at Vetrate Artische Toscana, a glass studio in Sienna, Italy, we decided to collaborate.

Currently we are combining glass and steel in large sculptures.
