  • When you buy something made locally, your purchasing power spreads to the community. Did you know that for every custom glass lighting project ordered at @illuminataglass your dollars 💵 also employ local glassmakers, local metal fabricators, local industry, local hardware shops, packagers,& photographers? That’s economic sense! Plus you get a story of collaboration with an artist and quality of product that will blow away all other imports. #sparkleon (!) #shopsmall #glassart #lighting

  • The #corazon of Mexico has supported me through this intense,beautiful,emotional & celebratory week of glassmaking and collaboration. 9 days ago my mother passed away. Her love of the arts supported my career as an artist. Her last words were in support of me continuing forward with my project in Oaxaca. This gorgeous city has held me in its embrace and offered me inspiration and love and support from old and new friends. Healing my soul with art, mole, mezcal, colors, big skies, amigos and even grasshoppers for breakfast! My generous hosts @Xaquixe have been extraordinary! Muchísimas gracias! ❤️🔥🙏🦋🌴#glass #glassartist #inspiration #vidrio #oaxaca #art

  • #Repost @businessimpactnw Thank you for such a nice article! I have love all these amazing resources!! ・・・ “It’s not easy being an artist in Seattle. Similar to food business owners, makers operate within extremely tight profit margins, and “according to a study by Seattle’s Office of Economic Development, warehouse and other small commercial building vacancies are at an all-time low, under 2 percent” (KUOW). For veteran glassmaker Julie Conway, Founding Owner of @illuminataglass, her creative home within Equinox Studio offers a nexus of collaboration where artists often contribute to each other’s projects and have renter equity in the collection of industrial buildings. Amidst Julie’s flameworking equipment, vintage luggage used to carry glass, her grandfather’s silversmithing tools, and an expansive custom metal and glass chandelier made with help from a machinist down the hall, Julie and I sat down to discuss the challenges and rewards of being a creative small business owner.” Read more of Julie’s story on our blog: businessimpactnw.org/illuminata @refractseattle @equinoxstudiosseattle @prattfinearts

  • I have arrived in #Oaxaca ready for #glassmaking adventure and collaboration! Thank you @xaquixe & @christianguerothornton for hosting me! I am here at the compound checking the melt of the 1000 lbs #recycledglass bottles melted with #biofuel from the incredible #methanedigester ! It looks fabulous! I am finally here making my #glass dreams come true and could not be happier! Christian is a mad genius and I am so thrilled to see all his inventions in person and put them to use for my new product line @lumidesigncollection I started BioGlass.org years ago for my passion of living with a light footprint. I have lived off the grid several times, driven a car with hydrogen generator, and now own a Green Built home in Seattle. This is finally aligning with all that I desire! . . #ecodesign #glasslife #bioglass #greendesign #lighting #interiordesign #lightartist

  • Being an artist means that who you are, what is going on in your life, and how you interpret the experiences become the distilled product and outcome of our work. Challenges and heartbreak and elations and evolutions all become revealed. My dear Mom has passed away and made her transition to the next dimension, and I am beside myself with grief one minute and celebrating our relationship in the next. More than ever I need my own beacon of light. My Illuminata. Mom gave us her creativity and raised us under the blue Colorado skies, taught art to our classes when they canceled art programs at our public schools, drove us to all soccer, ballet, ski, horseback and piano lessons, and became my number 1 collaborator while I forged my career as an artist. Thank you to our dear friends, family and clients and fans that have been so supportive. Sometimes LIFE is just happening in full beautiful crashing waves and we can just take on breath at a time, experiencing the richness and full intensity of its adventures. I take her blessings and her teachings with me on my next grand artistic adventure. 🌸❤️🌸❤️🌸 May you all love so much it hurts.
