5 pounds NS shorts from Gypsea Glass!
Up for auction we have 5 pounds of North Star shorts donated by Gypsea! (http://www.talkglass.com/forum/member.php?9-gypsea) You can also check her out at www.gypseaglass.com, www.facebook.com/gypseaglass, and www.twitter.com/jekyllglass
A little about Gypsea:
Kristen Pickett first began flameworking about 35 years ago, in the late 70's, in Charlotte, N.C., under the instruction of Richard McCleary of "The Lost Art". This artist's glassblowing co-op also operated the Glass Shop at Carowinds, a theme park on the border of the Carolinas
She took a hiatus from glass to "get a real job", continuing her creative pursuit of expression through pottery, painting, and jewelry making while simultaneously balancing a nursing career and raising a family.
Listening to the flame calling through her night time dreams, she set her glass shop back up in 2001, and Kristen now devotes her full time efforts towards glass work in her retail gallery/gift shop with demo studio which is located in the historic district on beautiful Jekyll Island, GA. She is proud to also represent the work of other fine glass artists in her shop.
Gypsea spirit prevailing, she travels frequently back and forth to her private studio in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. She enjoys the laidback tropical lifestyle and the jammin' music from her husband's band, The WharfRatz, of which she is also the managing agent.
"I am inspired by the varied beauty of nature that surrounds my island and mountain homes...where I happily pursue my true passion for glass."
Kristen, aka Gypsea, is an original member of, and has been greatly influenced by the sharing of information that flows from "The Glass Lampworker's Discussion Group"/ "The Melting Pot". The forum lead her to experience and learn from multiple glass artists over many years of attending the annual AGI event held in PA. She is most thankful for the sharing of knowledge and camaraderie of all the glass friends she has come to know.
Awesome! Thanks, Gypsea! :D
