Featured Artist of the Month
The Kamloops Courthouse Gallery is pleased to present our "Featured Artist"
for the month of August.
We welcome Marj Briggs and her beautiful Glass Art to our Gallery!
.I have always liked working with my hands and have tried many crafts over the years. It wasn’t until I was introduced to art glass that I discovered a lasting passion.
In the ten years since I have continued working on my techniques for both stained glass and kiln-formed glass and discovered my own whimsical style.
Though there is an artistic tendency in my family, I didn’t take advantage of it until I retired from working as a retail clerk in a stationery store. A friend got me started with stained glass and thenI progressed to warm glass … that is heating glass in a kiln to mold and shape it.
That opened up a whole new world of possibilities.
I am fortunate enough to currently work part-time in a local stained glass store. This allows me unending inspiration from the colors and textures that give glass a life of its own.
