OG Boss Lady
Nancy Weisser has been working with glass for nearly 40 years. She owned and operated a home based stained glass commission business for 12 years before opening the store location in Kensington in 1992. In 1985, her interest in glass turned to a new and emerging art form - kiln formed glass, a broad group of techniques that includes fusing, slumping and casting. Nancy has trained with many renowned glass artists over the years, and owned and operated Weisser Glass Studio for over thirty years. Even though she retired and sold the glass studio in August 2023, she continues to produce unique and exciting works of art in glass and teach as a guest artist.
