Therese Baisinger is a glass artist who, after eighteen years of stained glass work and Tiffany lamp building, has turned her focus to decorative, functional fused glass. 

Her fused glass art is created by layering different colors and types of glass and firing them in a glass kiln.  Repeated firings of the glass at different temperatures produces the designs and textures for the individual pieces.  The glass is then suspended over a mold and re-fired to shape.  These one-of-a-kind pieces are created with a variety of techniques to produce glasswork that is interesting, beautiful and functional. 

Always drawn by the interaction of color and light in glass, Therese is passionate about working in this medium. She loves the spontaneity of this work because she is always surprised by the finished pieces. She continues to explore the versatility of glass. She has begun to create a diversity of pieces, some that are appreciated for their  functionality and others for their aesthetics.

Therese creates her glass in an outdoor garden studio in the Bonny Doon mountains near Santa Cruz CA, where she lives and works.
