Julie Boisseau-Craig - Glass

Artist Julie Fawn Boisseau-Craig works in porcelain and glass primarily, but utilizes metals and wood as necessary to create her sculptural installations. Julie also makes many functional works and wearable art in pottery and glass at Wild Pony Studio, her studio located in Rockford, Tennessee. Hot shop glass work is created at the Jackson County Green Energy Park in Dillsboro, North Carolina. She has taught art at Western Carolina University, Southwestern Community College, and Occonaluftee Institute for Cultural Art. She has shown nationally and participated in many workshops and demonstrations. Her work responds to the pieces and parts that make up our lives. Julie observes the contradictions of our world and how those components come together to create memories. In her work, she strives to combine components to bring out personal memories and feelings in her audience. Julie received her Master of Fine Arts Degree in December 2012.

Julie currently teaches many classes for the park in glass blowing and lampworking. She also teaches for the Southwestern Community College Heritage Arts Center outside Byron City. She is a passionate maker and devoted educator. She has been a resident artist here at the park since the beginning and we hope that continues to be the case.
