Glass art workshop


Sue is a young glass artist. She has a workshop in downtown Joliet, Sue Regis Glass Art, where she teaches the art of glass making. One of my friends found this Joliet hidden treasure and invited a group of friends to take one the workshops Sue offers to the public.  Sue has been working with glass for over 20 years and despite that she cut her finger yesterday, (you can see the band-aid in her right index finger in the sketch above) she didn't cancelled our session; the fingers of this professional artist handled the glass delicately and her trained eye knew exactly when to bend, tilt or cut the molding glass. 



We gathered around the torch to watch to everyone of us make a pendant. Of course I had to sketch this activity, most made on location. Everyone chose different combination of colored glass to personalized their pendant. 


Our pendants turned out wonderful. We had a fun evening. If you want to know more about this talented artist click her Facebook account. Downtown Joliet is changing, a lot of construction is happening now. We were told a nice park will be constructed after the demolition of a building right in front of this workshop,, something it will beneficial to businesses in downtown Joliet.
