Another exhibiting artists in Sharper Edges is Deanna Clayton who works in Sister Bay, Wisconsin.

We carry our burdens and joys on the same skin

and so much is held in our daily wrappings…

though the thread of our experiences weave our apparel,

only we know the comforts of our entrapments.

Deanna Clayton has been working with glass for over 25 years. She was introduced to glass right out of high school while earning her Associates in Fine Arts degree in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Deanna wanted to continue her education in glass. Research showed the glass program, taught by Henry Halem, at Kent State University to have produced some of the most successful glass artists working at the time. After two years at Kent State University she moved to Champaign-Urbana, IL to attend the University of Illinois and finished her bachelors degree.

While still attending the University she started her glass studio. She worked in central Illinois for ten years and then discovered beautiful Door County, Wisconsin which is where she lives and works currently. Today, Deanna’s work can be seen in public and private collections around the world.

Clayton’s work will be on view at Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass through February 17, 2019.
