Jutta became interested in glass after attending the fourth annual Festival of Glass in February 2014. In July 2014, she joined a weekend class with local glass artist David Hobday and, with his help and encouragement, created her first Dragon, small plates and coasters. Jutta was hooked!
"It's great therapy!"
"When I work with glass, I become totally engrossed with it and forget all around me", she said. "It's great therapy! I love the whole process, from getting an idea to getting the finished thing out of the kiln. Amazing, I never thought I could do anything like it."
The Festival committee is delighted at the emergence of a new local glass artist and pleased to have played a part in it. Festival coordinator Doug Carson said, "A major reason for holding the Festival is to develop the area's reputation as a centre for glass-related activity, so we're pleased to see the Festival encouraging new glass artists like Jutta."
