Mondays and Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursdays and Fridays

Christa Westbrook first discovered the art of glassmaking when she was 16. Mesmerized by the molten glow, Westbrook decided to further her education by receiving a BFA in Glass at Emporia State University. After many years of working at The Corning Museum of Glass, she started her own research with color techniques, such as cane manipulation and pattern building. Now located in Granbury, TX, Westbrook is currently working as an independent artist and traveling across the world to teach the art of glassmaking.
