For fused glass
Cristina Grumezescu-Schnellboegl
Cristina discovered glass in the winter of 2016. She started with stained glass, and after a few months of cutting and soldering she was so attracted to glass and the endless possibilities for manipulating it that she decided to buy a torch and work with soft glass, too. For the glass beads she needed a kiln for the annealing process, and this brought her to fused glass. Cristina was born in Romania, where she graduated from an Engineering and Economics university. After marrying in 2000, she moved to Germany and established a travel company. In 2015, she emigrated with her family to Nova Scotia, Canada. This was big change in her life. But the endless inspiration of living near the shore and surrounded by woods awakened her desire to work with glass and to mix and use different techniques and mediums. Cristina’s home and studio are located in Prospect, Nova Scotia, where she lives with her husband and two dogs.HAPPY FUSING!
