M&M Glass With Class studio is the home base for stained glass expert Brenda McLaughlin, who has been working with glass for over a decade. As one of the stops on the Moostletoe Studio Tour on Oct. 19, Brenda will welcome people to visit her space.
Brenda’s talents with glass are unending and she has experimented with all kinds of techniques and designs, including window panes, lampshades, mosaics, three-dimensional pieces, and even jewellery. Her work has been featured across Saskatchewan, and Brenda has taken commissions from all over Canada.
At her studio, Brenda displays not only her own work for purchase but also the necessary supplies for glassworking. She also offers classes on the art, for both beginners and more experienced artists.
Husband and muralist Grant McLaughlin will also be available for the studio tour, said Brenda.
“[Grant] will be there more talking to the people, because he's been doing a big mural in Regina, so he hasn't really had time to do anything new up,” said Brenda.
Grant is the artist of a number of Moose Jaw’s impressive murals, and one of the founding members of the mural project in the city.
Part of Grant’s passion for art is exploring the connection of people to their heritage and environment. His murals and sculptures are a part of communities across Western Canada, celebrating the history of the prairies.
Both Brenda and Grant are looking forward to welcoming visitors to M&M Glass with Class, and Brenda even teased the possibility of a glassworking demo if time allows.
The couple has taken part in the Moostletoe Studio Tour before, and enjoy the opportunity to meet people.
“Its just kind of neat to have people come through and see your stuff, people who maybe didn't even know we were here,” said Brenda. “It's always fun, talking to all of the people.”
M&M Glass With Class is located at 301 4th Ave S.W. More information about Brenda McLaughlin is available on her website, and more information about Grant McLaughlin is available on his website.
