Featured Artist for November: Zak Sieben
I began working exclusively in stained glass in 1994. Having a passion for coloured light, I was immediately hooked.
I trained at Glowing Panes Glassworks in Thornhill, Ontario under the instruction of Laura Heathcote. After moving to Bath, I attended classes taught at The Glass House and Northshore Glass. The glass techniques that I have learned include stained glass, mosaic stepping stones, fused glass plates and fused glass wall art.
Since 2010, my time has become more and more occupied with creating fused glass wall art.
The ability to cut, layer, and fire glass allows for endless combinations of colors, shapes, and textures. The process of fusing, where raw glass pieces are heated and melted together in a kiln, is magical and transforms glass materials into stunning art.
My work continues to be inspired by nature and I try to capture its colour and texture using abstract designs.
