Since childhood, Amanda has been surrounded by glass collections and has always been fascinated by the creative process of glass artistry.  Her work has been shown nationally in art shows and galleries.  Amanda continues to expand her knowledge and enjoy teaching lampwork classes to others.  Both the scientific aspect of working with glass and flame along with combing colors into various wearable art objects continues to keep her fascinated and excited about the art of glass.  For more information about Amanda, please visit www.ajsglassworks.com.

MARY MERGES

 

A flat glass artist for 22 years and a potter for 19 years, I have been associated with The Fine for 20.  Fascination with natural light and its effect on glass color and texture is my focus when encouraging students to explore their own creativity.  From the simplest sun catcher to a large window, stained glass opens a world of beauty and color to our lives.
