Playing with Fire — Flameworker Amy Lemaire makes wearable glass sculpture

Just more than a year ago, artist and educator Amy Lemaire was living in Brooklyn, making her name in the New York art scene and traveling the country to show her work and teach. Today, Lemaire continues to gain acclaim in the art world and travels the country to show her work and teach, except now she’s based in Louisville and makes her name in the local art scene. For instance, Lemaire is the featured artist in the February 2012 Museum Store Spotlight at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft. She has been showing and selling her work at KMAC since she got to town in late 2010.
