Sandy McCormick, beach glass folk artist Why beach glass?Sandy McCormick’s love affair with beach glass started with a trip to Russia where a fellow tourist, from Seattle, invited her to visit once she returned home. At Margaret’s house, Sandy observed a table, lit by fluorescent tubes, with many colourful pieces of beach glass placed on the lighted surface. The glass sparkled and the varied textures of the pieces glowed as they blended into a multi-hued mosaic. That was in April, 1974. Fifteen years later, when she first visited Texada, Sandy had not quite filled a two-litre jar with her collection. Then, as miners would say, she struck the mother lode. There are several Texada sites which are former refuse dumps where only glass and rusty metal remain. Decades of immersion in salt water with rusty metal turned many pieces of glass a yellow-golden color, which is unique to Texada. Sandy’s beach glass artWorking with beach glass is the ultimate in recycling. The glass, made of substances found in nature, was once made by man into the articles which were then recycled by the ocean into the pieces Sandy works with today. Every piece of beach glass is worn and carved
