Patty Gray Patty and her husband opened their first glass blowing studio in 1975, but in the early 80s her interest turned to fusing. Pattys knowledge of glass was built largely through experimentation in fusing and casting techniques. Her experiments paid off! Along with her husband, she has been producing architectural fused and cast glass works for commercial buildings and private residences for over 10 years. Patty has also developed a series of dam molds to encourage others to explore her techniques. Her work has been shown in public and private collections, galleries and exhibitions.
