After experiencing an unexpected medical challenge, I have paused my in-person teaching. However, I am fully available for one-on-one online tutoring and mentoring across a wide range of subjects.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey with stained or fused glass and need guidance with techniques, troubleshooting, or sourcing materials, or you’re already confident in your craft and want to grow your artistic practice from a business perspective, I’m here to support you. I have experience mentoring artists working in many mediums and at all stages of their careers.

My professional path has been wonderfully diverse. I began as the owner of two retail stores, which eventually led to a teaching position at Algonquin College in Ottawa with the Faculty of Business and Interior Design. There, I taught business skills for several years before shifting my focus to art glass instruction. I’ve since travelled in Canada and the UK as a guest instructor, teaching advanced fused-glass techniques.

A glass artist since 1992, I’ve had the privilege of creating community-engaged artworks for more than a decade—work that has resulted in both permanent and pop-up public installations. In addition, I’ve served as a juror for artists and groups seeking funding and representation.

I would be delighted to support you on your creative journey—with openness, inclusivity, and a genuine desire to help you succeed.

I offer a complimentary fifteen minute online or phone meeting to determine if we are a good match. My current hourly rate is $30 +hst. Please do reach out to arrange a time that works best for you. Email jenniferkelly@rogers.com
