Lois Manno

Lois Manno has lived in New Mexico for 40 years. After working for decades as a painter and graphic designer, kiln-formed glass took over her life. She developed unique methods of working with glass frit and powders to create her nature-based imagery. Lois developed a unique product for glass artists called Modeling Glass. The kit includes a non-toxic powdered binder and liquid medium that, when combined with powdered glass and water, becomes a clay-like mixture that can be sculpted. In addition to teaching, she has written an ebook titled Exploring Modeling Glass, with tips and projects for making amazing art with powdered glass.

Bob Leatherbarrow

Bob has been creating with kilnformed glass for over 35 years and is known for innovative techniques, textures and colour palettes using glass powders. His glass bowls and sculptures explore the subtle hues and delicate beauty of naturally occurring textures and encourage the viewer to ponder their origin.

Bob is dedicated to education and is a popular guest instructor as well as having written e-books on textured powders, firing schedules, and design.

He lives in the artistic community of Salt Spring Island, Canada.
