ARTIST – carlyn ray

For Carlyn, the ultimate experience comes through elevating the personal connection with the piece, finding the purity within the design, and feeling the energy radiating from the creation of the art. In her community studio, Dallas Glass Art, people take classes and enjoy the experience of making their own pieces. The non-profit she founded, Art Reaching Out, incorporates hands-on STEAM lessons through making a glass piece, and is aimed towards working with underprivileged students, especially young women.
