Hudson Valley Fire Pits in the Media

Phoenix + Flames Sculptural Fire Pit on Boing Boing
The first prototype of the Phoenix + Flames Sculptural Fire Pit as featured on Boing Boing

On June 1, 2005 Boing Boing was the first to write about my fire pits.

Since then, Hudson Valley Fire Pits have been widely featured in magazines, newspapers, books and popular TV shows, including The New York Times Business and Home sections, The Chicago Tribune, Variety, Craft Magazine, HGTV’s Decked Out and My Yard Goes Disney, DIY Network’s Man Caves, Epic’s Castles and several episodes of CBS’ Hawaii Five-0.

NOTE: Most of the media mentions below use my old name as well as outdated names for the fire pits.

Rachael Que Vargas’ mosaics and other artwork have also received wide coverage including Smithsonian Magazine, The Washington Post, Atlas Obscura, the book and touring exhibit Mythic creatures: and the impossibly real animals who inspired them from the American Museum of Natural History (as well as a BBC documentary with Stephen Fry based on the exhibit). A full list of coverage can be found on Rachaelquevargas.com.
