Tammy Rae Wolter - Owner - STUDIO #3

Lamp work and Blown Borosilicate Glass, Jewelry, and Keepsakes. 

Glass is both my medium and my collaborator. Working with borosilicate—known for its exceptional color range and strength—I create jewelry and keepsakes that balance intention with discovery. While many pieces begin with a clear vision, the true magic often happens in unexpected moments, when the glass responds in ways I couldn’t have planned. Those surprises keep the work fresh, dynamic, and endlessly engaging.

I am drawn to borosilicate for its durability and luminous color, making it ideally suited for wearable art. Through heat, layering, and movement, I explore color relationships and form, allowing each piece to develop its own character.

In addition to my studio practice, I am a silversmith and an educator, offering metalsmithing classes and seasonal workshops that introduce students to glassmaking. A Touch of Glass, established in 2018, is housed in a restored 1888 former Catholic church in central Wisconsin, where the working studio, gallery, and classrooms come together in a space dedicated to learning, creativity, and shared experience.
