"Life in the Glass Lane" - Christopher Michalek
Christopher is a self-taught stained glass artist who lives in Sussex County, New Jersey. Christopher’s love for glass begin as a child on a class trip to Wheaton Village now WheatonArts. He was fascinated with glass everything From bottle hunting to working as a glassblowing apprentice in Seattle, Washington. He has participated in numerous mosaic glass mural projects in and around South Philadelphia over the years. Christopher’s love for glass really started at a dark time in Christopher’s life! Chris explains – my Dad knew I needed something to help pull me out of this dark place. Being a porcelain artist himself Christopher’s father bought out a local stained glass studio. Tons of glass and supplies together with a simple 95-page paperback and Christopher was on his way to an exciting new adventure that would completely change his life forever. A few years later Christopher’s father passed away after years and years battling cancer. Losing his father was hard on Christopher and his family! Chris found peace in his glass work and knew he could help others with this gift from above. It wasn’t easy but slowly it was working. Christopher’s first attempt at an art gallery was a failure to many but to Chris it was a priceless learning experience. Today, Christopher and his girlfriend Holly operate a small stained glass studio in Franklin Borough, NJ. Looking back, Christopher says everything happens for a reason and regrets his past mistakes but he wouldn’t be where he is today without all his yesterday’s. Chris is determined to help others through his love for Art. Planting seeds of hope today for a better tomorrow aren’t just words to Christopher. To Christopher it’s a lifestyle!☮️❤️🎨
