With a degree in Visual Communications, Sandi Martina has a keen eye for design. In 2008 her artistic journey expanded after taking a variety of glass classes at the Workhouse Arts Center. A year later Sandi became an emerging glass artist. She is currently a resident artist and instructor in the W7 Glasshouse. Sandi found glass to be an ideal medium to express and bring her creative background and ideas to life.

Candi Durusu began flame working glass in 2008. As time and classes progressed she became more interested in borosilicate/scientific glass, completing courses in 2013-15 with multiple artists. Candi has been a resident artist and instructor at the Workhouse Arts Center since 2017. A love of material and what it does has produced periods her life immersed in clothing design, culinary professionalism and, currently, glass sculpture. One could say she experiments with media that may, with the proper skill, make verbs visible.
