About Ebbie Shellans
I’m a Spokane-based fused glass artist who fell in love with glass after more than twenty years of exploring a variety of artistic mediums. My glass journey began in 2017 while living in Portland, where I took my first class at Bullseye Glass. From that moment, I was hooked — I just kept wanting to learn more and explore everything this medium had to offer.
My passion lies in creating unique and memorable glass art that captures light, color, and texture in unexpected ways. Using a range of glass types and techniques, I shape and layer my pieces to bring depth and dimension to each creation. I’m constantly pushing my artistic limits—learning new methods and finding fresh inspiration within the vibrant glass art community.
Sharing my love for glass is an essential part of my journey. Through teaching, I aim to spark curiosity and creativity in others, guiding students as they develop their own artistic voice and craft high-quality, one-of-a-kind pieces.
About Megan Hertz
For me, the best part of fused glass is the magic that happens behind the kiln door—watching layers of glass fuse and flow to create their own movement within an otherwise rigid medium. I first discovered fused glass in high school in Wyoming, where I later earned my bachelor’s degree in communications.
After moving to Spokane on a whim in 2023, I reconnected with glass at Ebbie’s studio and was immediately captivated all over again. Since then, I’ve explored a wide range of projects—from tiny keychains to 15-inch wall art—each one an opportunity to experiment, learn, and play with color and form.
My inspiration often comes from what I love most in life at the moment—whether it’s sea life, dresses, flowers, or simply color combinations that spark joy. When people encounter my work, I hope they feel both the joy that inspired each piece and a glimpse into how I see the world: always evolving, always curious.
