SUMMARY:Donna Marie Pitcher Stained Glass Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Show hours: 10 am-4 pm \nSidney glass artist\, Donna Marie Pitcher\, creates fused and stained glass art\, a beautiful art medium that requires skillfully breaking glass into pieces. “There’s a certain noise you hear when you cut glass. I didn’t expect this sound\,” shares Donna Marie. “It’s a lovely grinding sound followed by a quiet snap when it breaks.” \nFor her\, creating works of art\, which include hangings and lanterns from glass\, is immensely satisfying. “I love to explore nature and transform what I see into glass. It brings me joy\,” she explains. “It’s something I do to enrich my soul.”
