Philip has mad skill!

Philip has been creating award winning glass art for 40+ years. He has mastered stained glass, Fused glass, sandblasting and Glass Blowing as well as other art mediums. He has built Rainbow from a passion of glass. His ability to mentor  and inspire students keeps students coming back for more.

Shelly's style of teaching is "All In". Her passion is helping others. As Phil and Hazel's daughter she grew up at Rainbow and knows how to build the most stunning stained glass projects. She has tons of tips and tricks to share. There is no other instructor on the planet with the amount of energy, humor, and caring as Shelly. Shelly received her Masters of Marriage Family Therapy / Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University. 

Shelly is currently working towards her PhD in Art Therapy Psychology at Dominican University of California where she is pioneering research on the therapeutic properties of glass.

Sandie came to glass in 2014 by accident.  A friend and I signed up for a glass blowing class together as something fun to do, a “once in a lifetime” opportunity.  I had no idea that the first dip into the molten glass would ignite a passion in me.  I couldn’t wait for the next class and then the next class. As the opportunity arose, I was able to help guide students and assist with the many jobs in the hot shop.  Working with students is just as rewarding as creating something for myself. I love to see the smiles on the students' faces when they come to pick up their projects. Over the years, I have met some truly remarkable and talented people.

 

My love of glass does not end with glass blowing.  I enjoy fusing glass, mosaic glass, pulling vitrigraph, sandblasting, and learning new techniques. It would take many lifetimes to learn everything there is about glass.

 

From the very first day I walked into Rainbow Glass in 2014 to the present, I still get butterflies thinking of working in the hot shop. Glass art is for everyone!  Come take a class.  It will change your life! 

Linda is an award winning artist. She has traveled the world learning concepts, approaches and skills from international artists. 

After visiting Rainbow Glass and falling in love with Hazel & Phil she made the choice to become part of the teaching team. And Rainbow is very happy to have her.
