Glass Artis | Public and Private

Bio

San Francisco native Lin McJunkin comes to the warm glass art world through traditional stained glass. The gift of a small kiln hooked her on the narrative potential of warm glass, and after many years of experimentation and a summer at Pilchuck International Glass School, she now creates in four styles of glass: cast, kiln-carved, pate de verreand cluster fused.  

Backpacking and canoeing throughout the world has given her an intimate perspective on the social, cultural educator for 20 years, Lin eventually became the Science Curriculum Coordinator for the Corvallis, Oregon, School District, working with the EPA and the American Association for the Advancement of Science to write outcomes-based science standards for the state and local districts. Because of this work, she focuses the heat of her environmental convictions, as well as that of her glass kilns and metal torches, on work that advocates for the health of our planet and its inhabitants.

Lin brings over 30 years’ experience in the glass art and business world to her private and collaborative work.  She has work in the permanent collections of La Conner and Anacortes, as well as private and public art projects around the world.
