about the artist:

When I first tipped my blowpipe into the hot glass in 1980 at Carnegie-Mellon University, I ignited a passion for glass ever since. I have been privileged to study glass blowing and lamp working with outstanding artists over the years. The mistakes I made and new techniques I tried always lead me to my next step or idea. 

Now, over thirty years into glass my passion has not cooled. I currently own and operate Yerace Glass Studio, located in Erie, PA. I offer glass classes in both hot glass education  and lamp working to both Children and Adults. See CLASSES:

​In the studio I create both one of a kind pieces of glass and a full line of production glass. My work is represented in Galleries in both Pennsylvania, Michigan and New York. 


               education:

The training of an artist is like building blocks
that work together synergistically to create
the whole artist.  

​My training included, but is not limited to, the following:


-BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh 
-postgraduate studies at Ohio State University 
-Pilchuck School of Glass in Seattle, Washington 
-Penland School of Crafts in Spruce Pine, NC
-Corning Museum of Glass inCorning, NY
-Sonoran Glass School in Tucson, AZ
