Glass Arts Education at UrbanGlass

Picture
​I have been studying at UrbanGlass in Brooklyn as a scholarship student since 2018. I began by taking workshops in stained glass sculpture, glassblowing, and glass painting before earning at place in The Bead Project at UrbanGlass (keep scrolling for more info on the program). By November 2018, I finished The Bead Project and spent the following semester finishing my MFA in Digital & Interdisciplinary Art Practice at The City College of New York-CUNY. After graduating from CCNY in 2019, I returned to UrbanGlass to continue my glass studies. I began winning Bead Project alumni scholarships (called the Chelicca Scholarship) and studied kilnforming before the pandemic halted my glass studies. I returned to UrbanGlass in 2022 as a Chelicca Scholar and have since studied (or continued studying) mosaic-making, powder drawing, fusing, slumping, inclusions, and enamel painting. UrbanGlass also hired me to do bead-making lessons during Fall 2022 Open Studios.

​At this time, I am seeking to create more ambitious glass works with the support of grants, including realizing my visions for hybrid glass and ceramics pieces. I am also planning to design and sell jewelry using my bead-making skills.

The Bead Project

I was selected for The Bead Project, a competitive entrepreneurship program for women, in 2018. This is a full scholarship program for women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Over the course of 10 weeks, participants learn about bead-making, glass arts more generally, pricing jewelry and other arts/crafts works, creating a business plan, and marketing a small business. At the end of the program, I participated in The Bead Project Fall Trunk Show to display some of my designs from the semester.
