Kelly O’Dell

Although my main technique is Hot Glass Sculpture, I use Glass in a variety of ways, including screen-printing and fusing, cold-working and casting, and reflective mirror mosaic. Supporting materials are often metal, bronze, and wood. I enjoy combining processes and materials to convey my message.

Kelly O’Dell has taught glassmaking at Pilchuck Glass School, Pratt Fine Arts, Penland School of Craft, Niijima Glass Center (Japan), The Royal Danish Academy (Bornholm), and at Pittsburgh Glass Center.

Caldera Glass Studio, a beautiful home glass shop on Lopez Island, WA, is shared by Kelly O’Dell and Raven Skyriver. We make our own artwork here in our hotshop, and on occasion, we do public demonstrations, workshops, studio tours, and holiday sales featuring mostly functional wares, like cups, vases, bowls.
