Featured Artist: Kathy Kollenburn, Gresham OR
Fused glass captured my heart & imagination from the first class I took in 2006. Glass has such a draw through the color and light it brings to its environment and is wonderful for both decorative & functional uses.
I work at my home studio in Gresham, Oregon. The process to create one piece can involve several firings over many hours. This involves cutting, torch-working pieces to add to the project, assembly, firing multiple times in the kiln, and finally cold-working as needed to create a quality product and finish. It is still a joy to learn new techniques from classes and other artists.
My work is currently available at the Vista House Gift Shop at Crown Point, in Corbett, Oregon, at the Spiral Gallery Coop, 341 Broadway Street, Estacada, Oregon and can be seen at various shows throughout the year. More of my work can be seen on-line or contact me
