Gigi’s path has followed a lifelong pursuit of arts and crafts. She is an accomplished warm glass artist, wearable art creator, and designer.

Her love of the landscape around her is evidenced in her designs. Her glass work blends the use of dichroic and non-coated glass to create depth, and dreams in glass jewelry, panels, tiles, and wall hangings. She frequently begins her glass design process by using her fabric art to work out the layouts for her glass panels, and landscapes.

Once her design takes shape, her works emerge as a bright, colorful, and fun look at the landscape. A peek into her studio reveals an artist in motion, constantly exploring, always working in the moment.

She begins the fusing process by layering dichroic and non-coated glass in her chosen design. When she is designing she loves the wonderful movement of light created by blending dichroic glass colors (dichroic glass reflects and transmits light in more than one color, and the color can change depending on the background or viewing angle). Then, the glass is fired in the kiln at temperatures ranging from 1250 to 1500 degrees.

Next the glass is cut to size or shaped, then it is fired a second time, this time using heat to create a highly polished surface on the glass. Jewelry pieces are finished using sterling silver wire or silver, or gold-filled findings. From start to finish, she plans on about a week of studio time to complete the artistic process. Each piece is handcrafted and uniquely one-of-a-kind.

Gigi Laberge gratefully thanks her family, friends and everyone who makes her artistic endeavors possible.
