“The collaboration started in Jerusalem, Israel, when Putter (a metalsmith) and Berdichesky (a graphic designer), walked their dogs and found glass fragments. Phoenician? Roman? Ottoman? Regardless, the aged sea-green glass unleashed the couple’s creative imagination and catapulted them into an odyssey across continents (and centuries), accumulating scholarship, skills, and artistic sensibilities, enabling them to shape visions into reality, be those 2D, 3D, or in-between.”
