Tracy Matthews creations

Fusing Glass is my key to transformation, my way to change, my escape.Discovering the art of glass transformed my life, gave me direction. From the beginning when I first discovered the beauty of stained glass in an old church in Montreal I was spell bound. Not only was I taken by the skillful craftsmanship but I felt an instant connection to the past. Over the years I have shaped, cut, smashed, melted, and torched glass thinking that I was transforming the glass into something beautiful but in actual fact it was transforming me. Fusing glass fills me with a sense of self, and has made me believe anything is possible. Every time I open my kiln to see my end results I feel like a kid in a candy store. The way the light and texture and colour combine is breath taking! I could eat it all up in one gulp!My glass jewelry is meant to be touched, fondled, and admired! Enjoy….
