Museum Shop

There are several new shopping experiences at WMODA to benefit the museum’s educational programs. Our revamped shop has a beautiful selection of gifts, including jewelry, tea china, glass art, and books.

Local Artists

Ceramic Art

Alyssa Ligmont works in North Lauderdale making wheel-thrown functional and sculptural ceramics. She uses multiple glazes to produce brightly colored surfaces on her high-fired stoneware body. Her hand-made collection of brie bakers and omelet makers are food, dishwasher and microwave safe. Alyssa enjoys knowing that her functional art can be treasured and enjoyed through everyday use.

Art & Design

Lloyd Goradesky uses the Power of Art to bring awareness to our natural surroundings. His latest project is a kinetic weathervane entitled Let Love Guide Your Way which has inspired many smaller scale sculptures and gift accessories.

Laurence Gartel is considered the ‘Father of Digital Art’ having taught Andy Warhol. More recently he was the official artist of the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, and the Monaco International Film Festival. He has been inspired to create limited edition prints of the ceramic art at WMODA.

Accessories

Marielle Plaisir is a designer of sensual silk scarves with matching leather bags, wallets and key chains for her Les Barbares brand.

 

Glass Art

Anne Orvieto is obsessed with fused glass as an art form and was a star of our Touch of Glass exhibition. She is inspired by every sunrise and sunset as the light creates a myriad of ever-changing colors.

Elizabeth Prado fuses tiny droplets of glass to create sparkling textures in luminous bowl and plate forms. Her vividly colored designs make eye-catching centerpieces for table décor.

Chelsea Rousso is a teacher of fashion design who also works in kiln-formed fused glass. She shares her diverse talents at WMODA at her workshops and fashion shows with stunning models in her wearable glass.
