CAVAN BUTLER

He has been featured on Go Magazine, Check Around and many newpaper articles. His Irish wit adds humour to every class!
 
DEBBIE JANSEN
Always having a love of things made of glass it was natural for her to master most glass mediums. Starting with cement stepping stones with in-laid glass, copperfoil & leaded glass windows; she moved onto glass fusing & torchwork and was completely hooked. Debbie has learned from some amazing teachers as well as experimenting on her own. She also hosts an annual event Debbie Jansen & Friends "Glass Only ". She used her resources to become a dedicated, knowledgeable and very fun teacher. She looks forward to having you in her class.
 
DONNA DOHERTY
Donna has over 27 years experience that she loves to share with students. She brings patient guidance, warmth & laughter and expertise working with copperfoil and decorative soldering to each of her classes and is highly regarded as a wonderful teacher.
 
TIM SMITH
Tim learned to cut glass at the young age of 3. Following in the family tradition, he has been an integral part of Glass-Smith for the past 30 years. He has learned skills & techniques from Patty Gray, Brock Craig, Tom Mercer, and of course his dad who started him in this adventure, as well as the many other artists/teachers that have come through our door. He brings to his classes, patience with beginners and a genuine interest in sharing his years of knowledge and enjoyment of stained glass and fusing glass.
