Award Winning Artist Bennetts Glass Amelia Island . Florida 904.491.4778		Bring the everlasting beauty of glass art to your home or business!   Working with stained glass is dream come true for award winning, Pam Bennett.She had been a free lance fine jewelry designer for years, while raising her family and working in the medical field as a diagnostic ultrasound technologist. When Pam was finally able to retire from her "real" job to pursue her dream of being a full time artist, her husband Mark was instrumental in her decision to pursue glass as her art medium. After cutting her 1st piece of glass, Pam knew she had truly found her niche as an artist. After several years of perfecting her skills in her home studio, she began to realize that for the designs that she really wanted make in stained glass, she would need to learn more about glass painting and glass fusing so that she could incorporate more detail and have more freedom in her glass art. She began with a course that taught her how to use glass paints, stains, frits and lusters with nationally renowned Dan Fenton. Dan is known as one of the cofounders of the "contemporary glass movement", is a contributing editor for "Glass Art" magazine and has authored some glass "how to" books. He not only was he a fantastic teacher, he was great glass art historian. He also taught her how to go beyond the lead lines in her artwork. Soon after, a trip to Enders Island near Mystic Connecticut provided a weeklong experience that she and her Husband will never forget. St. Edmonds is a small Catholic dieses that has a mission of promoting the ancient Christian arts. The Stained Glass Society of America has given Nicholas Parrendo the Lifetime Achievement Award for his magnificent stained glass windows that are seen in hundreds of houses of worship and private residences around the country. Nick was willing to share his 50+ years of experience in glass painting with a small group of students for a week long course. From morning to night he shared not only his knowledge but his spirit. He opened Pam's eyes to how an endless amount of symbolism that told a story, could be incorporated into a single stained glass window. Most recently Pam and Mark both took a fun course in dalle de verre at the Blenko glass factory in West Virginia. Dalle de verre is the process where one inch thick glass is chiseled into shape then placed onto a pattern after which and epoxy cement is poured around the pieces to set them into place. Though fun to learn and beautiful, it is not practical to transport these very heavy panels to art shows. There are many people who love traditional looking glass and although it is fun to put these panels together, she loves to go beyond the lead lines and create unusually colorful fused and stained glass. Sometimes, she feels like the mad scientist of glass as she is constantly experimenting with different ways to use glass (not always successful). You never know what you will see from art show to art show, but it is guaranteed that it will be a feast for your eyes. Pam has also just started a new line of fused jewelry pendants and earrings.
