Artist of the Month

Sharon Owens
Sharon Owens began a long-term love affair with glass in 1979. Her first glass-blowing experience was at Purdue University in the chemistry lab. From there she studied with masters in Florida, Seattle, North Carolina and abroad. Sharon draws her inspiration from nature. Driven to share her passion, she opened Inspired Fire Glass Studio and Gallery in 2002 in Lafayette, Indiana, where the public can experience flameworking, fusing and furnace glass blowing.
