About Me
Twice Baked Arts is owned and operated by Amy Poos. I tend to create things that can be used. My favorite pieces play on a form, like a bottle shape, to create functional pieces that are also amusing. I also love to discuss food, to cook, and to plan dinner parties, so my design thoughts gravitate towards dishes and housewares. Twice Baked Arts is a combination of my love of glass, my need to create, and my belief in recycling, with a nod towards my obsession with food.
My family and friends might think I am a little strange when I show up at their houses with a bin to take their recycling away. But it's fun to see bottles in new shapes, and I get a sense of satisfaction from keeping these items out of the dump. Since I started working with recycled bottle glass, I have learned many things including: always wear safety glasses, sometimes accidents turn out to be your favorite projects, and my mom eats a lot of applesauce.
I work from my home studio in Edwardsville, IL.
