ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR Stained-Glass Artist, Jamie Gail Korb, has been practicing her craft since the mid-90’s and teaching it to children at St. Bartholomew’s Church since 2001. Having been raised in a family consisting of a bead-weaving grandfather, silver-smith mother, and centrifugal casting artist sister, it is no surprise that Jamie followed this multi-generational tradition and built a solid career in the arts all her own, exhibiting all over the US and delivering commissioned artwork to clients in New York, Pennsylvania, Arizona, New Mexico and California to name a few. Taught and raised in Wisconsin, the same area as Georgia O’Keefe and Frank Lloyd Wright, Jamie now resides in the Hudson River Valley and is represented by Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona. Past Exhibition Highlights include the 10th Annual Seasons at Lenoir Nature Reserve, Yonkers NY; New York International Film Festival; 2008 Arte News Magazine Fall Edition; and Infinite Possibilities at Fountainhead Gallery NYC. Jamie Korb is looking forward to heading and implementing the new Art on the Barge Program, every Sunday on the Science Barge, a prototype sustainable urban farm educational center, in Yonkers NY.
