I don’t recall a time in my life when I wasn’t creating. Growing up, we were always crafting something new/ different, often for school or church bazaars.  I first discovered GLASS as an amazing medium at the Currier Art School in Manchester, NH. The first of many classes that I took was run by Judith Copeland, League of NH juried glass artist. Many classes, workshops, and tutorials later…here I am! 

All of my glass is created/fused in my home studio, in Sanbornton, NH where I live amidst inspiring views of mountains, fields and Lake Winnisquam!  I am but a guide, aiding in the transformation of bits of glass into the beauty that I see, from the white birches and purple lupines of spring mountains, to the intense blaze of fall color or the clear, glowing night sky.  

With glass as my partner, I play with depth and texture within layers of glass, and use a variety of ever-growing techniques to reflect the variety of nature in my designs.  Each piece of glass is hand cut and/or ground to shape & layered into one of my kilns and fired to @1200-1500 degrees at least once & often many more times in order to achieve the desired results. Each firing takes a day or more to ensure proper annealing.

Each piece of glass from Melissa Antul/Glass Transformations is a one-of-a-kind signed work of art and love, created to share my joy and vision with others. Her website is Glass Transformations.
