JPaws Glass and Wood
Lynda and Peter Tartaglino live in Sequim with their 2 great danes and 2 sphynx cats, Jessee, Jaymee, Jonesee and Joee = JPaws the name of their studio. Lynda’s passion is designing and making fused glass art. Peter spends his time in his woodworking shop. They are our Featured Artists this month! Be sure to check us out on First Friday Sequim
Lynda has had a lifelong love of glass. She started collecting pieces over 40 years ago from different artists and started her own studio when she and Peter retired. She now enjoys her love of glass on a daily basis in her small studio.
Lynda started her glass journey with a torch making custom glass beads. She then moved on to fused art glass work. She specializes in hearts and small framed art but also makes glass boxes, mushrooms and jewelry.
Most of Lynda’s pieces are made using Bullseye glass as it offers a variety of beautiful colors and options. Creating glass art is such a passion of Lynda’s and she loves being able to share it with others.
Peter is a woodworking hobbyist who has been an active woodworker for the past 18 years. Since his retirement in 2012 he has made woodworking a full-time activity. Peter earned a Certificate in Furniture Making from Cerritos College, Cerritos (Los Angeles County) California.
Peter enjoys using different domestic and exotic woods for his projects. The variety of mediums allows him to learn the differences and challenges of each species. To date he has used over 30 various species. These aspects are demonstrated in his variety of work which includes but are not limited to medium to small jewelry and storage boxes, cutting and charcuterie boards and cheese/cracker boards.
We hope you enjoy their story and art as much as we do here at La Petite Maison Blanche!
