About the Artist

Patty Clune
WheatonArts Assistant Glass Studio Coordinator

Philadelphia based artist Patty Clune is a dedicated craftsperson focused on glass since 2013. She graduated from Salem Community College in 2018 with associates degrees in Scientific Glassblowing Technology and Glass Art. She had previously earned a degree in Visual Communications before attending Salem with a focus on studio art.

She has worked for multiple artists as an assistant, mostly notably for Paul Stankard from 2016 to present. Patty served as Head Gaffer at John Pomp Studios, specializing in high end lighting and furniture production. She is currently works as the Assistant Glass Studio Coordinator and WheatonArts, in Millville, NJ.

In her personal work, she is inspired to create clean forms with simple patterns, highlighting the physical and optical properties that only glass can offer as a material. Her practice is primarily focused on using a formulaic approach to the physical act of glassblowing. Patty is less focused on art than she is on technical craftsmanship, but she feels her artistic expression thrives during the process of making. Her love affair with glass is held with the unique physical properties in which glass inherently exists. When she's not honing her craft with full-time production, she enjoys flameworking, teaching, and taking classes.
