About the Artists
Studio Seventy-Three, located in Newton and supported by Community Living Society, is home to a group of artists who work with glass to create beautiful glassware, decorative pieces and wearable art. These glass artists are fully trained in using techniques of molding and fusing to bring their original designs to life.
The artists are supported by a team of professionals who assist them in learning new techniques, as well as in the use of glass kilns and other equipment. The artists of Studio Seventy-Three exhibit their work at art shows and galleries around the Lower Mainland.
