ABOUT HANNAH

I was a semifinalist in the lampwork category for Bead Dreams 2009 and won second place for my bead embroidered collarpiece in the Treasures of Toho 2009 Contest. The Treasures of Toho necklace can be seen in the February 2010 issue of Bead & Button. My work is currently on show at the Harwood Museum of Art gift shop and also at the Fetchin House Taos Museum of Art Gift Shop.

ABOUT DAVID

As a beginning glass student I view this medium with similar eyes as those of my student years back in Baltimore studying both Literature and Fine Art specifically in the areas of drawing, painting(acrylic, oil), and mixed medias including fibers. The color palettes and ranges of their uses in glass fascinate me, especially in the application to this medium fresh to me. Watching and learning from Hannah has helped to rekindle a genuine appreciation for glass as a sculptural art that I've always had. Moreover, it has sparked an interest for the complicated medium and techniques involved in all its many forms ranging from beads through jewelry and sculpture.

Having managed other businesses for more than a decade in other industries I am currently enjoying and look forward to challenges to come endeavoring into this new field working alongside Hannah. For myself, everyday is a chance to learn something new about both the medium itself and the industry that continues to grow due to the commitment of wonderful artists around the world working with glass on any and all levels.
