ABOUT KAREN YASGOOR
Welcome to Orange Glass, otherwise known as warm glass or infused glass.
I have always been drawn to glass art design, architecture, most notably Murano, Chihuly, Kosta Boda, and others. Traveling to Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the upper Northwest, I was mesmerized further by the talents of glass artists from all over the globe. In 2019, I decided to participate in a warm glass art class (melting glass together in a kiln to create an artistic design). This opened up a new world of creativity. Formerly, a career consultant and psychologist, I frequently asked the question from my students, "What has motivated you throughout life and what interests do you have?" When I decided to answer my own question, I realized that I was drawn to the beauty of glass art that so many artists created. When the pandemic landed and forced the art studio to close where I had taken classes, I purchased my first kiln and an entirely new adventure began! Every piece that you see on this website is truly one-of-a-kind, and uniquely yours if you decide to purchase a piece of glass. I welcome your suggestions and am happy to create something special for you!
Orange Glass is a personal reflection of our family's life journey together. Appreciating beauty, combined with enthusiasm and hope, is the theme of our family's passion for art, design, and glass.
May peace and good health always be with you.
