Claudia Whitten
 
Garden Creek Studio
 
 
Claudia Whitten began her arts journey at an early age learning art concepts and terms from her mother.  Her formal art training began with art classes at Palm Beach Community College.  In 1982, Claudia took a stained glass class.  She continued her education in glass when she attended an extensive glass fusing residency at Camp Colton in Oregon in 1989.  Studying under both National and International glass artists throughout the years, she learned techniques to find her own unique style of glass art.
 
Fused Glass dish
 
Each piece is kiln-formed glass, coldworked and fired to a matte finsh, giving the glass a soft look similar to beach glass.
 
Fused Glass Dish
 
"I live in the Rocky Mountains; my studio is on Garden Creek, and this peaceful environment inspires my work.  The peace that my natural surroundings generate is what I hope to bring out in my designs."
