Sarah Hinds is a 30-year-old woman with two passions: her family and her glass. She shapes glass with her companion, Sky Campbell, in Gainesville, Fla. and also teaches glass making to others. During the summer, Sarah sells her work at festivals and art shows. In the off-season she shapes glass, teaches elementary school art class and takes care of her family.
With careful, but powerful, breaths Sarah blows into the glass, still searing hot from its time in the kiln. This process takes patience, as one mistake means staring all over.
Lifting a piece of clay that will soon become a totem pole, Sarah instructs first graders at Expressions Learning Arts Academy where she teaches art classes.
Kindergarteners watch in awe as Sarah shows them how to paint the many shades of purple.
Late nights follow long days for Sarah as she and Sky work together in their homemade workshop blowing bowls and other creations in anticipation of the upcoming art season.
Advanced bead-making classes, which take place inside Sarah and Sky’s barn, give older students the opportunity to learn from a passionate teacher.
Using a pair of metal tongs Sarah widens the opening to her glass vessel.
Sarah and Sky’s workshop is large and open to the elements. It houses a couple of kilns (one which they built themselves) as well as all their glass working equipment.
A frustrated Liam Bobbitt waits his turn during class as his classmate, Jupiter Jones, dictates a poem to their teacher.
Dinnertime is family time for Sarah as she holds her son Lotus, 4, and shares a laugh with the others.
Before the lights go out, Sarah crawls in bed with her daughter Lily, 8, and Lotus and reads to them as they fall asleep. Dr. Doolittle is one of the children’s favorites.
