KRISTIN A LOGAN is recognized internationally for
her glass beads. She is an independent artist who
lives and works in New Hampshire.
She
was one of only four artists selected for exhibition
in the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick
Gallery Invitational : Four Discoveries in Craft,
2002. "Logan"s beads exist in their own right as
art... ", writes Kenneth Trapp,
Curator-in-Charge at the Renwick Gallery.
Articles about her work have appeared in numerous
publications--GLASS magazine, ORNAMENT magazine,
Beadwork magazine, Bead & Button magazine, Lapidary
Journal, and La Revue de la Céramic et du Verre.
Kristina served as president of the International
Society of Glass Beadmakers from 1996 - 1998.
Kristina travels extensively throughout the United
States and Europe teaching workshops and lecturing
on contemporary glass beads and jewelry.
Kristina has taught beadmaking at such well know
schools as The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass
in Corning, New York, Urban Glass in Brooklyn, New
York, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine,
Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, Musée-Atelier
du Verre à Sars-Poteries in France, and Centro
Studio Vetro and Abate Zanetti in Venice, Italy.
The
artist writes that beads "are part of my lifelong
fascination with art and ornamentation. Glass beads
form an historical thread, connecting people and
cultures throughout our history". Kristina's
work and desire to educate has been an inspiration
for many glass beadmakers throughout the world.
Kristina's work has been collected by The
Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Renwick Gallery,
