Clever Cucumber at linktr.ee/CleverCucumber

Kate is a mixed media and stained glass artist who is excited to learn more about warm and hot glass techniques at the Guild. In 2021 she started Clever Cucumber, a free community art studio in West Salt Lake City dedicated to art accessibility for her neighbors. With a BA in Art Education, her favorite thing to do is teach, as well as working on her own artworks and commissions when there is time. Previously she taught art in public schools, completed an AmeriCorps VISTA service term at Clever Octopus, and managed her local Buy Nothing group. Now she serves as a volunteer board member on the Salt Lake City Arts Council. She’s inspired by her husband, Brendan (who makes her art practice possible); her silly house rabbits and pet goldfish; the kindness of her neighbors; her journey with pregnancy loss and infertility; and the satisfying challenge of sustainable, compassionate living.
