Teddie Hathaway
As part of the Washington Glass School's upcoming 10 year anniversary, the WGS Blog will have a series of stories - "Glass Sparks" - stories and profiles of the school and its artists. The first artist we will feature is Teddie Hathaway.
Teddie’s career as an artist traces her transition from a distinctly DC career path. Teddie had worked in and for the offices of Members of Congress, most recently as the finance administrator for seven different members handling the strategic budgeting for their official activities and the execution and monitoring of those budgets.
As a way of finding a new career path, she took inventory of her own skills and interests and plotted out her options to make sure she used the opportunity presented by retirement. Teddie took numerous classes - at the Washington Glass School and at other glass education centers and studios - affording her explore to as many approaches and techniques as possible in her newfound medium - glass. Focusing on recycled glass, which she sometimes removes from old window frames and collects from demolition sites, Teddie works at changing industrial components into things of beauty that speak to her of form, rhythm, texture and heft.

Teddie exhibited recently in a juried show in Sequim, Washington, as part of an international glass festival. Teddie also has work in a group exhibit here in the DMV area, as the Weisser Glass Gallery’s show: “Excavate – Unearthing The Artist” which opens this Sunday, Nov 21st.
