Amanda's Artist Bio
Amanda Short is the owner and operator of Amanda’s Glass Art. Amanda has a long history with art that dates back to before she could speak. Coming from a family of artists and craftsmen, art was always encouraged even at an early age. She won her first art contest at the age of 6 for Stone and Thomas. Amanda went on to win a number of other art contests in a variety of different mediums ranging from paper collage in middle school to charcoal in high school to multi media in college.
In 2002 Amanda graduated from West Virginia State University with a B.A. degree in Art. Shortly thereafter she began working at the Avampato Discovery Museum in the Clay Center, a local museum in Charleston. That is where she met Martina Huson, a veteran stained glass artist who offered to train Amanda in the art form. Amanda began working for Martina at Martina’s Glass Studio in 2004 and discovered her love for stained glass. During her employment at Martina’s, Amanda learned the intricacies of stained glass artistry from the basics to complex design and technique. In 2006 Amanda Short became a sole proprietor and began selling her own custom stained glass at galleries. In March of 2007 she bought Martina’s Glass Studio and opened a Limited Liability Company of her own.
Amanda has found that creating works of art in stained glass presents a realm of endless possibilities, varying from glass windows to jewelry to functional pieces, and the list goes on and on. She enjoys sharing her glass knowledge with others who are eager to learn through teaching stained glass classes. Amanda loves her work and dreams of creating glass art for the rest of her life.
