About the Glassware creator: Southeast Colony member Rebecca Chipman has loved art since childhood and has worked in many mediums. She and her husband, Keith Chipman, have made and sold custom leather, handstitched journals featuring watermarked paper with copper-etched plates emblazoned with the name of the owner’s Mayflower Passenger ancestor. Creating these individualized journals is just one of her talents; she also works on many commissioned art pieces.
