BONNIE RUBINSTEIN, former urban designer, was always fascinated by glass. She had studied glass blowing and stained glass, before she discovered the magic of fused glass 25 years ago. Since then, she has focused on learning this complicated medium, won awards and has created dozens of architectural installations for public, private, hospitality, and educational facilities. Much of her work is nature-focused, influenced by her former career. She is known for her stunning large scale glass wall sculptures, light fixtures, sinks and stand-in sculptures. Her largest commission is a 2-story (20’ tall!) glass wall sculpture for a University Center. Bonnie’s work has been featured at museum and gallery exhibits, and she has taught workshops in glass fusing. She is self-taught and has developed several unique methods for visual textures within her layers of glass. She integrates glass shapes that remain intact in the kiln at specific temperatures, with compositions inspired by nature, science, or abstract themes. The pure colored glass she teaches are brilliant in color and will never fade. Your art will be forever keepsakes.
