About Me |
 My name is Teresa Laliberte'. I'm a glass artist living in Germany. My greatest passion as an artist is creating Form. I'm one of Life's natural sculptors, I've been doing it in one way or another, since I was a child. To see defined Form emerging from a shapeless mound of clay, a hank of wool, a tree branch, or a few lengths of glass rod... that is what really sings to my soul. I often don't know exactly what the object will look like when I'm finished but that for me is a huge part of the magic - to see it born before my very eyes... I've been working with glass since 2005. I'm largely self-taught learning through hours and hours of trial and error, but I was also gently guided by what I have read in books and by people who have generously shared their knowledge on glass forums such as Lampwork etc. and Wet canvas. I sell my work mainly through online venues such as Ebay and Etsy. I teach private lampworking classes in my studio in Germany. I also give workshops all around the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Beyond the glass… My current passion is music, I’m learning how to read sheet music and how to play the classical guitar. When I'm not melting glass or practicing the guitar often times I can be found knitting, spinning, or felting. I’d really love to learn to weave someday. I love yoga, I try to do it daily, it's really changed my life. I spend alot of time in the kitchen since I cook nearly everything from scratch. I also love to read, listen to music, garden and walk in the forest and hills surrounding our home. My husband and I are vegan and try to live as green a lifestyle as possible.
