Nadine Booth:

Nadine started working in glass when she moved from her home town of Pittsburgh, PA to Hobart, IN back in 1991.  She took a class in stained glass and has been hooked ever since.  Now living in Glendale, AZ, she continues her self-taught glass artistry, at her home studio, Hidden Glass Studio.   In 2012, she was looking for a challenge within fused glass and after a trip to Yellowstone, she began to learn and explore the makings of nature scenes.   The inspirations were endless!

After investing countless hours exploring, experimenting, testing, color correcting and creating various techniques, Naturescapes evolved.  Each time Nadine creates a nature panel, she includes more advanced details within her fused glass panels.  Nadine’s technique uses one base sheet and adds various forms of glass, torching, coldworking and several kiln sessions, that brings depth and texture to invite the viewer to take a walk into nature.   

She has shown her glass work at the AZ State Fair, Las Vegas’s Glass Craft Expo’s own Gallery of Excellence and in the Fine Art Festivals within Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and California and in two select galleries in New York.  Nadine’s techniques used in the Naturescapes have won multiple awards and numerous commissions for her.  She has been invited to teach at various glass studios in AZ, MI, TX and at her own studio.   She has developed a loyal following of students, who have taken her classes more than once!  Her classes are timed for the students to enjoy a stress-free atmosphere, to have fun, learn various techniques to use within their nature panels and to leave with a complete finished project.  All processes in the Naturescapes are easily transferrable to any size and any glass COE.  

Looking back, Nadine is thankful for her years working in glass.   Glass has motivated her to be creative and has kept her attention with numerous and limitless possibilities to explore shape, texture and color… it’s never boring!
