Julie Ancy is a fused glass artist working from her home studio in Texas.
What began as a curiosity quickly became a calling. After discovering kiln-formed glass over a decade ago, Julie Ancy immersed herself in the craft — experimenting with color, layering techniques, and the unpredictable beauty that comes from fusing glass at temperatures above 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Her work spans a wide range of forms — from richly patterned platters and mosaic plates to sculptural bowls, wall panels, and one-of-a-kind art pieces. Each creation begins with hand-selected glass rods, sheets, and frit, carefully arranged and layered before entering the kiln, where heat transforms the composition into something entirely new.
Julie Ancy's pieces are known for their vibrant color palettes, intricate patterns, and the way they interact with light. Dichroic glass, iridescent finishes, and carefully controlled kiln schedules give each work a depth and luminosity that shifts depending on the angle and light source — no two viewings are ever quite the same.
