Hurricane Helene Devastated Our Community

Studio Closed Until Further Notice. All of the bridges and roads leading up to our home and studio are gone due to raging creeks or landslides. We walked out to safety on Oct. 3. We are staying with friends and are safe. Our community and other communities in Western NC are slowly recovering from the devastation.

A Huge shout out to Pensacola Fire Department volunteers, French Broad Electric Membership Corp, FEMA, the National Guard, the Military, Cajun Navy, various government agencies AND ALL of the amazing volunteers and disaster support agencies that have been here the whole time to help as quickly as humanly possible.

Welcome. I am Amanda Taylor and I am a kilnformed glass designer, maker and instructor (in-studio, community outreach, video tutorials, & eBooks). I create my work & teach workshops in my light-filled glass studio south of Burnsville, NC.  I love teaching people of all ages the joys and creative freedom of kilnformed glass! 

Would you like me to create a custom piece(s) for your home? Contact me to get the process started.
