ABOUT
Karla Lange discovered her passion for glass in 1995, beginning with stained glass then flame-worked beads. After visits to Mexico and seeing the beautiful dichroic jewelry made there, she was inspired to create designs in her original forms. She became educated in the art of kiln-formed glass in 2010 and first began producing jewelry. Now, she has expanded to functional art pieces such as platters, bowls, and contemporary wall hangings.
She was recently under the tutelage of some of the best in the glass industry including Patty Gray and Gloria Badiner. Karla was enlightened by their advanced techniques and was also educated in the art of glass casting.
Karla is a member of the Muskegon Museum of Art and was one of the selected artists in the MMA's Regional Exhibition in 2013, 2014, and 2015. She is a graduate of Ferris State University, and a resident of Muskegon, MI, where she lives with her husband, Mark. Besides boating and photography, she enjoys spending time with her family and walking along the shores of Lake Michigan with her dog, Buddy.
