Natalie Hahn, founder of Red Tail Glass Works
has been working in glass for over twenty years. Her extensive portfolio includes a
wide variety
of commission works and architectural pieces in stained and
fused glass. Whether it involves manipulating
in a kiln or piecing together with lead, her
work starts with a flat sheet of glass that culminates an
idea into an art piece that may be decorative or functional, always
beautiful.
There is virtually no limit to what Natalie can create with
her glass; from stained or fused glass
windows, cabinet doors, room dividers and
fire screens to mirrors, accent pieces, door knobs and drawer
pulls she loves to blur the line between decorative and functional.
The last few
years she has expanded her works collaborating with other
artists combining her fused glass with steel and wood sculpture.
Of her work Natalie remarks, "Working with glass comes
from a primal source for me, I love the
way that glass allows me to express myself. It's
like creating from a palette of light." She added, "I
admit I have more fun cooking glass in the kiln than with food in the
kitchen."
Natalie lives and creates in Freeland, Washington.
