Judy McManus - Glass


Judy McManus received a BFA from Western Carolina University in 1977. Her major concentration was mixed media, especially as it related to fiber and glass. She felt that the two mediums had a contrasting appeal, which interested her as both an artist and a viewer. Pursuing her fascination with glass, Judy continued her studies as a graduate student at WCU. Just a few hours shy of her graduate degree, Judy quit the program for personal reasons.

Over the last two years, Judy has returned to glassblowing with renewed energy and a fresh perspective. Working mainly in high-quality clear glass, she has enjoyed exploring the properties and simplicity of this pure medium.

Judy has been a continuing resident artist at the park throughout its existence. She conducts park-on and park-off campus demonstrations and teaches a myriad of Glassblowing classes. She is a generous person and a passionate maker.
