June Featured Artist: Russell of Kelle K Glass
Russell has been creating stained glass art for over 40 years. What began as a hobby with his best friend quickly became a lifelong passion. While his friend eventually moved on to other interests, Russell continued honing his craft and developing his unique artistic style.
​
After meeting his wife, she encouraged him to turn his passion into a business, and together they founded Kelle Kaye Glass. The business became a meaningful part of their lives, especially during his wife's illness, giving her something to look forward to each day.
​
Following her passing, Russell considered stepping away from stained glass altogether. Instead, he chose to continue creating as a way to honor her memory and carry on the dream they built together.
​
Today, Russell continues to create beautiful stained glass pieces, share his knowledge through workshops, and inspire others to explore the art form. He is currently planning a soldering workshop in the coming months and looks forward to helping more people discover the joy of stained glass.
