Claire has accumulated a wide range of knowledge over the span of her career. She has built glassblowing studios, travelled to artist residencies, taught workshops and classes as well as showcased work in Canada and the US. While glass is still her primary obsession, she continues to experiment with different processes and materials to push her ideas and grow as a conceptual artist.
