Featured Artist: Linda Ethier, Portland OR


Linda Ethier is known for her pioneering, innovative work with fused and kiln cast glass. She has been working in glass since 1969. She has created numerous public art commissions and successfully balances her career as an exhibiting artist with innovative, site specific glass works for public spaces.

Recognized for her complex evocative images, Linda’s pate de verre and cast glass sculptures are created using a variety of traditional mold making and lost wax casting processes adapted for glass. Each piece involves multiple firings and often takes more than a month to create.

She is offering 3 classes this spring: The Pate De Verre class, March 21-25 is sold out. Her Advanced Mold Making class, March 14-18 it filled quickly so she added another March 28-April 1. As it stands now, there are 2 places in each session of the Advanced Mold Making class. If you want one of the remaining spots class description and contact info is here
