Welcome to my studio!
Hello! 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!
