Testaments In Glass

It all started in 1998 when a friend asked me to join her in a three week stained glass course. The only thing I knew about it to that point was how beautiful it looked in church windows. I agreed and in the first class I was introduced to the concert of stained glass. It was intense but I was immediately hooked.

 

I took to this craft like a duck in water.  My instructor, a glass worker for over 20 years, picked me to be an intern in his shop. I worked hard to learn and loved it.  He was amazed at my progress and kept pushing me to do more and more.

 

After a year with him and the other two workers in his shop, I helped complete 3 huge, beautiful stained glass master pieces. I then created a garage studio and began creating works on my own. I was told I was ready to have my own shop, which I opened in 2001. Unfortunately I broke my wrist in 2003 and had to close its doors but I never gave up working with stained glass. Recently, I have decided it’s time to open a shop and start teaching again.  I will never lose the desire to show people the beauty of stained glass and teach them the process of this craft.

 

Come visit me at my store and see what I’m working on now.  ♥ MB
