Malina Cipleu is a glass artist with a gallery at The Canopy in East Austin. Originally, she practiced psychology in Romania. Once she was in the States with her husband she turned her focus to art. Malina took art classes with her kids and started teaching. Eventually, she found glass and fell in love with the malleable medium. Today, she works in fused glass and makes bowls, landscapes, and wall installations. 

In this episode, Malina shares how glass fusing works, how she works with commissions, and how you can get into galleries. Take a listen!
