Deborah Cross's Profile
Bio
After many years as a bookseller, I came as a latecomer to the world of art. Kiln forming is the process I use to produce a wide variety of glass pieces ranging from small jewelry and ornaments to larger 3-D works. Glass as a medium for art is both inspiring and challenging. The colors and textures can add so much to a piece, yet getting them into a design that entertains, tells a story or has a beautiful functionality can be technically difficult and challenging. I am always striving to learn new processes and skills to enhance the range of works I can produce.
I have won awards in the science fiction field and she was commissioned for an award presentation piece that is now in Japan. Another my glass pieces was given by the City of Gresham to its Korean sister city of Sok-Cho.
