Glass Artists Spotlight

Posted on by Posted in Blog Content, Glass Art Spotlight 29 Comments

Okay, a little while ago, I started allowing people to make guest posts on this blog every once in awhile and I have realized how much it helped them so over at the Glass Artist Facebook Group, Matt and I have decided to feature an artist or two each week.

Before, I asked everyone to make a post in the discussion board on the group about their glass art and the response was great, but the posts were all over the place.  It was hard to reply to someone’s comment in the discussion board and be noticed.

So this new featured writeup would allow each member to be the center of the spotlight each week and get more exposure to their work. Some people put a lot of time and creative effort into their glass art without being noticed or appreciated, so this will be very interesting.

Also, this is a team effort because each week everyone can do two things to help the current spotlight member which is to hit the like button and leave a comment.

So to get started, select a picture of a great glass art piece or two and write about it.  Include information about your glass art such as:

  • Your name
  • Your Glass Art
  • How you did it
  • How you can do it
  • What processes were used
  • How big it is
  • Or anything that would help others

I think this will be very cool and very helpful.  If you know how to use WordPress, you can register here and begin typing up your spotlight post.  If you are unfamiliar with WordPress, then email me photos and information about your glass art to eric at glassetchingsecrets.com.

So to get this thing started, please leave some comments below with suggestions to make it better or what you think about it.  AND hit the LIKE button below to Kick Start this thing!

  5. I have just been made a granny so don’t forget me I will catch up after all settles down, sorry. I have a studio set up already am doing only copper foil and leadlight but I am going to venture into glass mosaic as soon as I get the time. Should be in about 2 weeks from now as I have a pattern to start with uuummm. I cannot wait to have a go. 🙂
    Love Jo

  6. i’m up for that….! busy now, but interested, for sure. I do etching too, so I look forward to seeing this site in more depth as well.

  7. hi thanks a lot its really a great idea
    i am manal alhmidat from Palestine
    Art is just a nice reflection of our sensation feelings. Although I graduated from engineering college, architectural department I found myself in Art Glass. It all started as a hobby, and by the encouraged of my family and my best friends I work harder on more and more ideas and be more creative. Now you can find a collection of mirrors, trays, clocks, vases, photo frame and more. I participate in many exhibition in Palestine to let people know about my work and now i painted in doors and windows and partitions in houses cafe and more .
    i have a channel on youtube about my work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nWHBmB24FI and page on facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Ramallah-Palestine/ART-GLASS-MIRRORS-by-Manal-Alhmidat/28467829770?ref=ts&__a=11&ajaxpipe=1

  8. Hi Had an op on my hand after cutting it with glass. Once Im up and running again I will definitely take part! Great idea!

  9. I think this is a fantastic idea, as it will be very helpful to get feedback from your fellow glass artists from all over the world and a great opportunity to exchange ideas, techniques etc. I am happy to participate and will send you all the info and details when I get back in a week or so. Thanks!

  10. I think this is a wonderful idea!Will be submitting my info.I also like the fact that we will get to see more of others work.Thanks to Eric and others who are working hard to make this group a success.I am happy to be a part of it.

  15. Great idea. I will definitely participate. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

  17. Sounds like a great idea as I am at present trying to get my small online jewellery business up and running. Just now working on the website itself and will be adding some pics. Still trying to get my head around all I need to do to get going..I will surely be sending you something.

  18. I think this to be a very good idea. Not only for me and my work, but to see some more work from other artists, their specialities and their feeling for the glass. This could be absolutely interesting to watch every week again. I’m looking forward to it and I’m glad to be part of it, certainly.

  19. Hi Hi Eric..
    thank you for inviting to feature me as an artist of the week.. I would welcome the opportunity to feature my work.. Especialy at this time as I am in the process of opening a second stained glass gallery studio after 8 years of opening my first. ..in Ewell road, Surbiton. I have been unable as yet to explore your site as I have limited connection to the net.. The name of my company is Stained Glass Interiors. my website is up but far from finished.. I hope to post more information about courses competitions etc over the next few months if you will allow me to do so.. perhaps we can collaborate to promote this beautifully art form.. Which I have practiced since I was 14!!.. 31 years ago..: )).. I will be happy to promote your site as much as I can..
    Regards SHERIF

  20. I dabble in fused glass, slumping, dichroic jewellery, and have done some tiffany style sun catchers. Would love to participate will dig out some pictures etc.

  21. Thanks for all the comments and interest so far! I am getting some good information and amazing glass art photos in. Remember to provide a detailed description of your glass art that will help everyone understand it.

    I will try to reply back to everyone in a timely manner. I am not sure if I will start this at the end of this week or the beginning of next week. Standby and this will be fun.

  22. I think this is a great idea. Not only for my jewelry, but to see other jewelry. We also provide jewelry making supplies, including glass fusing decals that are so popular. I really like this idea.

  26. Cara, what dimensions are you referring to? If you asking about the photo dimensions, it doesn’t matter because I will resize the photo for you. If your referring to the glass art dimensions, that doesn’t matter either. All glass art sizes are welcome.

  27. Would love to participate/share my work. I have done so many times & enjoy sharing techniques and trade secrets with new emerging artists.

  28. Barb, that sounds great! I think it would be more beneficial to the community if our guest posts shared more detailed techniques too. I might start asking everyone to write helpful and detailed explainations of the glass art so this would be good. Send me over a write up if you want me to feature you soon. Send to eric (at) glassetchingsecrets.com

  29. Hi Eric
    I’m not very educated in working with glass yet only been doing it for about a month. I’m learning to etch with a Dremel, I do glass, wood and stone I keep trying different ideas of ways to make them different, the wood I color then cover with varathane, also going to start dremeling on Tiles have been told hoe to seal them after, haven’t tried so don’t know if it works.
    Thanks for the patterns I use them on mirrors.
    Bob
