A glimpse into my Glass journey

Kale first started working with hot glass at 12 years old in the Hilltop aritists daytime program. She soon became a member of their production team making commissions and pieces for seasonal sales. A lot of time has passed and She is a proud member of alumni from the program.

Since being a part of the community through crucial stages of growing up, she has acclimated to life in the hot shop. she is grateful to now able to share her knowledge through teaching students currently going through the program, as well as the occasional blow your own classes at the Museum of Glass.

Her biggest love is bringing some silliness and good energy to a hot shop, along with creating bonds among the community.

Kale’s 2d art practice focuses primarily around the female form. The focal point of the pieces are mainly the torso. She finds that part of the female body is the most sexualized. It is extremely important that women and fem presenting people take the power of their bodies back from the objectification society brings upon them.

She brings a fun and almost surreal nature to the figures while focusing on the artistry that is the female form, rather than the sexual nature that would normally draw in the viewer.
