A gentle blue vase with pristine sand, these unique pieces are blown by hand with the wistful longing of an artist who can’t wait to return to Israel. After these vases are finished, they are rolled in sand from the shores of the Mediterranean and the Sea of Galilee, or from the dunes of the Negev.
