Jsglassart’s Stacey calls the Bay area in California home. She has been working in glass for 10 years and although she started out working in stained glass, she quickly fell in love with fused glass. At the present time she does mostly commissions and custom work and has been featured in several blogs. She is not only an active member of CGGE but also of the San Francisco Etsy team (Sfetsy). Her blog is: http://jsglassart.com/blog/.

Michelle of Fire and Ice Designs hails from British Columbia and also started out in stained glass. Along the way she worked in various mediums and then discovered lampworking.
she states that “the ony way to grow as an artist is to challenge yourself with new mediums and take big scary leaps in the process. Delving into glass as a molten medium has been an exciting, sometimes traumatic experience. It has challenged me and given me moments of joy as I bring a piece to life…I don’t just make and sell jewelry….I create precious art and wait patiently for a wonderful person to adopt it as their own.” Taking a risk has certainly paid off for Mishy.
