Natalie Goff started art glass as a hobby after taking her first class in New Hampshire. After moving to Florida, Natalie took another stained glass class at McMow Art Glass and become a part of the Retail Department team 12 years ago. She began her teaching 8 years ago.

Lynne Walkowski has been focused on art since junior high school. With an interest in the “craft” side of art, Lynne continued taking classes post college. Classes at McMow Art Glass has evolved into teaching both mosaic and fused glass classes as well as being a part of the retail department staff. Lynne is as excited as a new student to be creating art glass pieces as a hobby and to be a teacher, too. |

Lee Simon took her very first beginner stained glass at McMow Art Glass in November of 2002. Her plan was to create the transom in her new home only to find out that her first project was a butterfly, consisting of 4 cuts.
With a background in retail buying/merchandising, Lee feels that she has come a very long way since that first glass class and has found her passion. |
