So excited to announce our #artglassfinest for September 🎉 Jaclyn Miller of @assemblyglassworks 💗 Here’s a sneak peek at our blog feature 👉Link in bio to read the whole feature! Tell us a little bit about yourself: who you are, where you are from, how did you get into glass? My name is Jaclyn Miller, and I’m a stained glass artist living and working in Arvada, CO. I’m originally from Florida, and it was there that I studied art and art history with a concentration in mixed media at a small university about an hour outside of Orlando. After graduating, I moved to Chicago and started getting involved in the zine and minicomix community there, self-publishing my own memoir comics, and helping to organize the Chicago Zine Fest. After five years in the windy city, my next move was to Colorado with my then-partner, now-husband. I started digging deep into building a nonprofit career in volunteer management for a few years, but always made space for art making during that time, which included ceramics and illustration work. In 2019 the burnout that’s unfortunately common in the nonprofit sector finally caught up with me, and I decided to leave my job and take some space to figure out what I should do next. One of the things I did for myself during that time off was take a 1.5 day beginner stained glass workshop in Denver, and I was instantly hooked. A couple of days later I purchased a modest secondhand studio setup, and I’ve been making stained glass everyday since. It wasn’t my intention to build a full-time studio practice or small creative business from this series of events, but I couldn’t be happier with the way the cards have fallen so far. #artglass #stainedglass #stainedglassart #artistfeature #coloradoartist #oceansideglasstile #glassartists #coolartwork #stainedglassartist
