Glassworks Made In Canada

| Fall River based glass artist, Lori Nason of Fused Glass Diva, has been honing techniques in reversed enamel painting on fused glass for over a decade. Traditionally, reverse painting on glass is a “cold art” form of applying oil paint to glass and then turning the glass over to look through the glass at the image. Lori creates a modern twist to this ancient art form by using glass enamels and adding 1400F! Layers of glass, multiple stages of enameling, in combination with heat and gravity, result in intensely coloured animated glass designs with a quirky folk-art physicality.

| I am a professional glass blower living just outside of Vancouver BC. I love the heat, I love the smells (is that weird?), I love the sounds, I love the challenge and the process, I love the danger, I love the failures and the successes. I am at peace in the glass studio. IT SETS MY SOUL ON FIRE. I have followed this passion for over 15 years and have been fortunate enough to make a full time living of it in production studios for many of those years. Tara Blown Glass was the beginning of my own work, a production line that can keep my passion thriving and enable me to be there for my two young children through self employment. With life and glass, I am driven by the idea that happiness can be chosen, that a sense of humour brings about a positive perspective and the people and the environment we surround ourselves with contribute to our well being. I strive to evoke positive vibes through bright colours, functionality, simplicity, and often times healing pieces. I hope those vibes shine thru. Part of the glassworks made in Canada directory.

| I first tried lampworking in the fall of 1999, at Metamorphosis Glass in Union Bay, BC. Seeing the awesome work being done by the studio owner Neal Kuellmer, and other great Vancouver Island lampworkers, I became quickly obsessed with glass. I continued to travel 5 hours each way as many weekends as I could, and by the following spring, quit my job printing newspapers and moved to Union Bay to further my new obsession.

| Born & raised in California’s central Valley, I attended California State University, Chico. While earning my degree in Business Information Systems, I took glassblowing as an elective, and never looked back. In early 2017 I married my wonderful wife and settled in Vancouver, BC. I currently run my practice Dougherty Glassworks out of Terminal City Glass Co-op, while also working as the Studio Manager there. Part of the glassworks made in Canada directory. Products:

| SNL Creations is the result of an idea and dreams …. and much effort too. For the most part, it is a one woman show. While it’s always fun to dream, the majority of my time is spent as a maker. To me, working with the beauty of glass is magical. I’m fascinated to see how light and surrounding color brings glass to life. Lately, I am enjoying working with multifaceted glass to create sculptural pieces. These are designed to hang freely in space, thus providing ease of movement. Through the process of reflection and refraction, the interplay of light (especially from the sun), surrounding colors and movement of glass provides a show that’s both joyful and mesmerizing to watch.

| As luck would have it, a wrong turn on campus landed Canadian Glass Artisan Sarah Mulligan in the glass hot shop of the School of Craft and Design at Sheridan College. She was fascinated by the grittiness of the process yet the beautiful fluid nature of the medium of molten glass. That very day she enrolled and has been working with hot glass ever since. Sarah’s body of work is comprised of both blown and fused glass, which both display elements of simple design, attention to detail, and exhibit an affinity of the natural world.
