ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Based in Baltimore, Maryland, Joyce J. Scott is a multifaceted artist and educator known for her art performances and diverse artworks exploring and questioning cultural stereotypes. Exposed to beadwork at a young age, Scott began exploring the medium in the 1970s and focused on the peyote stitch. Scott also developed a particular interest in the beauty and color of blown glass. She attended the Pilchuck Glass School, in Washington State, and has also held residencies in Murano.

Based in the Washington, D.C., area, the artist Tim Tate co-founded the Washington Glass School in 2001. Fascinated by glass since childhood, Tate developed his expertise by studying at specialized schools and studios, including the Penland Craft School, in North Carolina. His art explores the reflective and optical properties of glass to express concepts related to his experiences. In 2022 Tate collaborated on a monumental glass project with artist Joyce J. Scott.
