“I love the combination of the two materials—how the metal is supporting and “protecting” the glass, and how harmoniously the two materials can be integrated together.”


Bonnie Hinz is a Minnesota artist with an Interior Design background. In 2004, she built her glass studio in her home and has been pursuing her passion full-time ever since. We recently caught up with Bonnie to learn more about her process.


My creative path is different than most, as I found art later in life. As a child, I was very creative--always wanting to figure out how to make different things using clay, wood, fiber, and whatever else I could find. As I grew into adulthood, that creativity became lost as I decided I needed a “real” job and tried out several careers, one being interior design. While I did enjoy that, I yearned for something more, but couldn’t quite figure out what that was. I then found a class at a local college for glass blowing and took it on a whim. I became hooked and took all the classes that I could, while I was still working in interior design. After much soul-searching, I decided to transition from design to glass and built my own glass-blowing studio.


I am driven to create things. The interior design work that I was doing was not creative enough for me. I need to actually make things with my own hands. If I don’t create anything for a while, I get crabby! Even if I am not making glass and metal artwork, I am sewing, crocheting, or playing around with other materials

The best thing is after we have installed an artwork at a hospital or clinic, and I hear that people love the artwork and have a connection to it. I want people to feel an uplifting moment of joy when they are viewing it.

People always assume that the metalwork is done by my husband or another male metalworker. I create all the metalwork myself. I enjoy bending metal and welding and all the processes of working with metal. I rarely create something that is just glass, or just metal. I love the combination of the two materials—how the metal is supporting and “protecting” the glass, and how harmoniously the two materials can be integrated together.
