Shannon Gough

Shannon took her first lampworking course in 2010. Since then she has spent time at the torch playing with the hot glass and figuring out its rhythm and flow. Her preference is to work with “soda-lime” glass and focus on understanding the realm of its properties, chemistry and how to control the shape of the glass in the heat. She continues to expand her knowledge and skill by learning new techniques from artists, whose work she finds inspiring and fascinating. Shannon enjoys sharing this ancient art (that is relatively new to North America) with the next generation of lampworkers.
