Debbi Elmer:

Debbi has played in multiple art mediums….drawing, ceramics, weaving, woodcarving, and jewelry….but found glass in 1998 and has devoted over 25 years to the study and development of techniques in fused and cast glass art. She received her BA in Art at the University of Texas at El Paso in 1981 and is often in her studio trying to push boundaries and working at new or different techniques and processes.  

Timberidge Glassworks was established in 2013 when Debbi retired from a corporate career.  Her studio is in a new building behind her home in Tyler, Texas where she teaches and works.  She is now involved in the start up of art therapy in conjunction with veterans and oncology organizations in the community.

Debbi’s work has been exhibited in Las Vegas, Anchorage and multiple venues in Texas. She has developed techniques and processes in glass that have been introduced and demonstrated at the National Glass Show in Las Vegas. Her work is represented in many private collections across the country. It ranges from large wall installations up to fourteen feet across to large bowls and sculptures to very small pieces only three to six inches across.
