JKL Glass Art
Julia Kellaway creates glass art using traditional and modern stained glass techniques of lead, copper-foiling, and glass fusing. Her work is enhanced with kiln-fired paint, which enshrines hand painted images onto the glass.

Since I wrote last, I’ve been very busy. This is a bit of a departure for me at this time of year, as I usually spend a lot of time resisting my inner hamster, who just wants to snuggle down and hibernate until springtime.
