Meet Artist Lynleigh Love. Love is passionate about the pure beauty of colored glass and enjoys using brilliant hues and tones of color in her sparkling woven glass sculptures. Her colored glass ribbons are hand-cut from large pieces of sheet glass and are woven with clear ribbons and stringers of colored and dichroic glass.

Her deep connection with glass began during a stained-glass class in college. She continued with her new stained-glass hobby until she took another glass class where she fell in love with kiln-formed glass. Twenty-five years later, her love affair with glass has morphed into her full-time profession and she declares that she is living her dream!

She has won several awards including first place in the nationwide Glass Craft Expo and third place at the Beverly Hills Art Show. Her unusual glass sculptures are shown in several southern California galleries and she is a glass instructor for the nonprofit Orange County Fine Arts association.

Look for Love's creations at Booths 536 and 538.
