Meet Our Resident Artists

The Art Glass Center is managed by a talented team of resident artists: from educators and scientists, to professional artists- we come from a variety of backgrounds. Collectively we’ve acquired a vast array of kiln forming skills, teach workshops, host Open Studio, keep the studio running, and enjoy creating kiln formed glass reflecting our individual styles.  Click on any of the images below to read more information and see each artists gallery.

Our studio artist program

The Studio Artist program at the Art Glass Center provides an opportunity for  local glass artists to join a robust supportive art community and secure space and resources in our fully equipped studio.  Being an integral part of the Center allows all of the artists to exchange ideas and support each other as they create together.
