Artist Bio:

After admiring art glass her entire adult life, Chris Guercio stumbled upon a fused glass class in 2009. Within a few session she was hooked! So much so that after a year she bought a kiln and began fusing at home; taking over her family room and most of the laundry room she started experimenting and hasn't stopped yet! Chris finds glass fusing intoxicating, with endless possibilities for artistic expression.

Chris has taken classes at Corning Museum of Glass, Pittsburgh Glass Center, Vitrum Studios, Weisser Glass, and has studied with glass artists Linda Humphrey and Michael Dupille in their studios.
