Hi there! I’m Stella Tharin, a stained and fused glass artist based in Wilmington, North Carolina. I create glass art and jewelry in hopes of bringing some extra beauty into your everyday life! Having grown up in the Wrightsville Beach area, I’ve found myself continuously being inspired by the coast. Minimalism and eco-friendliness are some of my goals in life, which transfer into my art as well. You can find me using recycled bottles, scrap glass, beach finds and more in my creations, re-using packing materials, and making other eco-friendly decisions when it comes to how I run my business. I love surfing and being in the ocean. The feeling I get from being in the ocean is one I strive to express in my art, as well as my love for plants, astrology, and traveling!
Stained glass has been in my life ever since I can remember. My mom has been a stained glass artist for around 30 years and taught me a lot of what I know! When I start a new creation, almost all of them begin with a sheet of glass and a hand drawn, original pattern. I’m constantly coming up with new ideas inspired by nature, astrology, or my spiritual journey through life! I currently share a home workshop with my mom, and I've recently started teaching stained glass classes and workshops at The Cozy Bookwyrm here in Wilmington. Check out my " Classes and Workshops" page to see what classes are available!
Make sure to keep checking back to see what’s new. I hope Stained and Confused brings happiness and colorful light into your life!
