Jennifer on teaching: Teaching in the realm of glass art should be an experience of shared joy and discovery.

By embracing the uniqueness of each individual’s work, we all have the opportunity to learn from one another, fostering a collaborative atmosphere that celebrates creativity and the endless possibilities of glass as an expressive medium.
