Tim and Gail Lass - Short Biographies
Gail began her odyssey into stained glass in 1986 when she took her first stained glass class at The Stained Glass Shop (The Shop) on Bell Road in Phoenix, Arizona. Her instructors at The Shop noted her proficiency early on, and suggested that she spend more time at The Shop training and doing work for The Shop. She soon began teaching classes in addition to making marketable pieces for The Shop, and for the next 22 years, Gail taught the art of stained glass to both beginners and advanced students. She continues to advise people online who are struggling with the art, and dreams of opening an academy to instruct local glass aficionados in the fine art of stained glass.
Tim began his woodworking career at the tender age of 8 when he made a necklace holder for his mother’s birthday. After losing the woodworking thread in college, he picked it up again in 1995. He began again by setting up a small shop in his garage where he made toys for children and kitchen gadgets. Although enjoying the hobby, he became enamored with the lathe. Working with the grain patterns and shapes was truly fascinating and enthralling.
In 2005 Gail and Tim found each other and they married in 2006.
Each of them continued their work in wood and glass; and they moved to Kentucky in 2018.
