Danielle Lagueux
Glass Fabricator & Administrative Assistant
Danielle graduated with distinction and earned her BFA in glass art from Massachusetts College of Art in 2007. She started working for Glassworks in 2013, shortly after making the move from Maine to Seattle.
Danielle is a woman of many skills, even here at Glassworks. She worked in fabrication for many years before making her way into our administrative branch. In addition to helping create architectural art glass and rocking out Excel spreadsheets at Glassworks, in her own time she’s an avid knitter, a crochet wiz, an enthusiastic mold maker, a competent metal caster, and an emerging designer & fabricator of custom geek furniture. She’s all this and a loving mother to her adorable corgi, Kima.
Quinn White
Glass Fabricator
Quinn graduated with a BFA Studio Art and minor in Art History from the University of Central Oklahoma before moving to Seattle in 2017. She began working with glass over 16 years ago when her uncle decided it would be a good experience for them to learn the art of stained glass together. She has moved on from there to make decorative optical glass art.
Quinn’s hands-on artistic background has trained her to be aware of the minute details of production that glass requires. The fabrication team benefits from her diligence and love of the material.
