About the Artist:
Lauren Wzorek Earl began working in the stained glass industry in 2004. Her training started in glass cutting, glazing/insulating, and eventually resulted in full time building stained glass windows. Years after leaving her job working with stained glass and three kids later, Lauren had an itch to start creating glass pieces again. In 2016, Szklo Glass was created. focusing on contemporary glass designs, to be displayed in the home, while still using the traditional methods of building a stained glass window.
Because of her Polish heritage, Lauren named her business SZKLO, after the word for "glass."
