JK "Robin" Spindler

Robin Spindler, known as ''J.K. Spindler'' to those who collect Fenton glass, says she is the ''serious one'' among the Fenton decoration design group.

She came to Fenton in 1979 after her family encouraged her to pursue a love of art and painting. Robin's unique designs are always of the highest caliber, and she says much of her inspiration comes from nature. Robin often studies different shapes and colors in her garden. She is amazed at the different lines and textures there.

Her talent has been recognized with many awards, including a Discovery Award for Technical Excellence, the Judges' Award from the Society of Glass and Ceramic Decorators, and Awards of Excellence from Collector Editions magazine, as well as special recognition from the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers (NALED).
