Instructor: Anya Ciarametaro has been working with glass since 2012 after falling in love with the art form at Salem State University. After pursuing a minor in 3-Dimensional Art in order to take every glass class possible, she went on to teach glassblowing to tweens at Camp Chateaugay in upstate New York. After 10 years of elementary school extracurricular education administration brought her back to working with glass, she now is a glass teacher again with North Shore Glass School in Salem, MA. Anya lives with her husband, daughter, and what she likes to describe as a "small zoo" in Rowley, Massachusetts, and is elated to be able to teach anyone and everyone to fall in love with glass just as she did.
