Annette Sheppard first studied glassmaking at The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass while earning her BS in Design and Environmental Analysis from Cornell University. Upon graduation, Sheppard studied with world-renowned glass artists teaching at The Studio, including Pino Signoretto, Shin-ichi, and Kimiake Higuchi. She worked and traveled with the Hot Glass Roadshow for many years, including managing demonstrations as a team leader for the Museum’s Hot Glass at Sea program. She has since earned an MBA from Duke University and works in marketing in the San Francisco area.
In 2019, she was featured as a contestant on Blown Away, an art glass competition show created by Marblemedia.
The Guest Artist Series features world-class visiting artists at work in the Amphitheater Hot Shop. These special, extended demonstrations provide a fascinating peek at the techniques, artistry, and improvisation that comprise contemporary glassmaking.
