​Hello and welcome! My name is Karen Werth, and I am the owner of Werthwhile Studio - an intimate fine craft studio, located in the heart of 16th Street Heights, in NW Washington, DC.  I create handmade, one of a kind fused glass pieces and fine craft work, and have been working in glass since 2010. The material offers infinite palettes of color and light. But working with glass also requires the use of sometimes challenging techniques and processes that can be learned quickly, but takes time and patience to perfect. And I love a good challenge!  Come explore and learn more about my work and my experience. 

"​I am inspired by beautiful colors and patterns of flowers, plants, marine life, insects, and animals. With those influences as foundation, I design pieces that are clean and playful, while embracing aesthetic and functional values." 

​"I create beautiful objects because of an insatiable need to work with my hands, my heart, and my head. It becomes a culmination of the physical, the intellectual, and the spiritual ."​
