We invented this art form in 1979 just by chance.  It was one of those great
  accidental discoveries that's still as  popular and maybe more refined and
 collectible with age.,...( like us! ) after this many years we think everyone has
 to have seen it before...but every year there are new admirers of our product.

I am the creator and designer of the individual pieces and I do all the engraving.
Our boxes are ever-changing,...one thing leads to another and it goes like that
year after year.  We always wonder why we didn't think of that idea before.

Most recent are the depression glass toothpick holders,...they make 
a great little box,...and twice the collectible appeal.  
 ( I didn't know such a thing existed!)
 
 We have been cutting back on the number of shows we do each year and 
2003 will be the lowest total of shows in 20 years. 

My husband Bob can always be seen selling at the shows these days. 
 He helps with parts of the business as well but as we slow down on the 
shows,.. he has some golf games to catch up on and a Lionel Train set to build.
 
We are pretty busy selling on the internet and that's the direction things will
 go in 2003.  It's a new world with the internet,...I used to hire sales reps 
just to cover some of the US... and now every place is as close as the keyboard!

We live in the beautiful wine country in Northern California.  Sorry,.. 
but we don't have a showroom at this time,... maybe in the future.
Thanks for looking!

ABOUT FOGGWORKS

We started this business with a bang in 1979 and after many years we 
realized we didn't want to work day and night so we chose to
 do a few select Art Festivals every year.

    We travel all over California and sometimes Reno and Las Vegas.
     Check our  2002 Show Schedule.

Once in awhile we run into a customer that bought from us
  in the early years and they still love the box they have.

  Sometimes people have been looking for us to show up at a festival 
for years,.... hopefully this site will make our LENS BOXES
more available to them and those that are out of state.

Since we started this business we've had almost every one of
mine and Bobs children and grandchildren work with us. 
   The young ones especially like to help do the festivals.
They're really lots of fun for them and yes,...there's an abundance
of true junk food, lots of activities, music, and magic!
