Instructor Bio:

Sarah Segovia began exploring the stained-glass medium in 1994 and developed a fascination with this ancient art that has remained with her to this day. Sarah’s formal art training began a year later when she went on to study abstract painting. She experimented with colors and textures of paint on canvas. Not satisfied with this medium, she spent a year abroad in London, England, concentrating further in stained-glass, mosaics, kiln work, and leading. After graduating with a BFA in Painting, she devoted her time completely to stained-glass.

Sarah has always been intrigued by the colors and textures of glass. the incandescent glow and glamorous light it casts. In the past few years, she mainly has created specialty stained-glass giftware and custom design work. She especially enjoys custom work because it gives her the opportunity to work with various individuals to help bring their vision to reality, and at the same time to create a one-of-a-kind work of art. Sarah's work reflects her passion to create fragile beauty, intricate patterns, and unique designs.
