Meet the Artist
Jenni Effinger
Hello all!
Me: My name is Jenni & I have a glass obsession.
You: *Hi, Jenni*
I have been a creator my whole life. My supplies were lovingly "borrowed" from family, as is customary when you are little & unemployed. Whether it was sheets to make quilts (probably should've asked first), scraps of wood to make furniture (that's you, piece of plywood which I called a desk), cardboard boxes to make houses (I still do this, to be honest)... The list goes on! Eventually I studied art in school and was able to properly explore many different mediums (with permission ha!).
I have also loved vintage/antique things, especially architecture & furniture design, for as long as I can remember. In fact, my grandma had a mid-century bedroom set which I claimed as my own at a very young age (it now resides in my home). My love for old things obviously includes beautiful stained glass pieces. I have always admired church & Victorian home windows as we pass them by. Who doesn't!?
Moving forward into 2023... I finally combined my compulsion to make art & my adoration for glass work during a stained glass workshop in January. Stained glass materials are not inexpensive so, naturally, I wanted to make sure that I love the process of creating pieces before investing in the tools. I will admit, admiring glass from afar is much much cheaper! Needless to say, I fell in love with the process and now I am ObSeSsEd! I cannot be stopped ha!

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a little bit!
