Alex has been involved at Pittsburgh Glass Center since fall 2023, first as a stained glass instructor in the kiln studio. They have a background in historical restoration of stained glass windows and have worked on large-scale projects at churches and residences throughout Pennsylvania. Their personal glass project, Cosmik Jest, was built off of this background, but takes a completely different approach. Whereas restoration requires precision, their smaller works nag the notion of tradition and perfection, and are a conversation around what it is to be queer, disabled, compassionate, and full of love. In recent years, they’ve been exploring outside of the realm of stained glass, delving into welding, printmaking, neon, blown glass, and kiln formed glass.
