About Us.
Artist Susan Madaci’s interest in glass goes back to a 2004 invitational residency (Wood, Glass, and Iron) at Penland. She wandered one day into the Glass Studio from her home base at the Iron Studio and ended up working with Tim Tate and Sean Hennessey. They taught her a dry plaster casting technique and she was able to cast her forged metalwork into up-cycled window glass. Seeing her work in glass was exciting. Since then, she has been learning techniques that are relevant to her work and how she expresses herself artistically in another medium. She has found it important to keep expanding her knowledge of materials and techniques in order to maintain curiosity and growth of her artistic practice.
