| Jan Wilcox began making fused glass three years ago and selling her work on the streets of New York - testing her market. All of her glass was well received, but after working outdoors she decided to enter the wholesale market and stay home, creating and shipping out orders from her home studio.
Prior to her life as a glass artist Jan has taught Stress Management for the University of Pennsylvania for 6 years, then while in Philadelphia; has been training in Mindfulness Meditation for the last 30 years in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Other professions she has acquired have been: Organic Farmer in Nova Scotia; Business Manager for a small college; Wetland and Pond Designer in Vt and NH; and Shiatsu Therapist in Boston, London and Philadelphia.
Today, she loves sitting in her studio, experimenting with melting glass and inventing new things that have never existed before.
All of her items are of the highest quality handmade stained glass and dichroic glass. She makes all of her pieces with multiple layers, giving them a depth and brilliance seldom seen elsewhere.
