Welcome to Gong Glass Works

Nancy Gong has gained a reputation as one of the foremost glass artists in the country. By combining the traditional techniques of stained glass craftsmen and stone carvers with her own style of creating texture and painting, her architectural works depict various levels of transition and contrast, with striking color and texture, motion and spontaneity. As the ever-changing light plays against her integrated design elements, she is able to create unique living, breathing works of art with a range of personalities, constantly beckoning the viewer to see something new and fresh with every passing look.
During the last decade, this accomplished glass architectural artist has successfully launched a line of fine art sculptures that marry her signature etched and textured glass, graceful lines of steel, and modern, playful

designs to echo the spirit, energy, and beauty of living things. Today, these sculptures can be found at many of this country's premier galleries and in private collections throughout the world.
    Inspired by Wasily Kandinsky, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder and Phillip Stark, Nancy Gong is one of those gifted, self-taught artists. She has been affiliated with the Naples Mills School of Arts and Crafts, the Allofus Art Workshop, Corning Museum of Glass, the prestigious School of American Craftsmen
at Rochester Institute of Technology, Narcissus Quagliata Design Workshop, Glass Art Society, and
Norm Dobbins Stained Glass Workshops.
