Joanie Schwartz welcomes visitors to her retail and studio space in the historical Platt building at 404 Commercial Avenue in Anacortes. Her unique space showcases a curated collection of artistic treasures you simply don’t want to miss. All pieces are skillfully created by artisans from around the country, mostly women, many of whom call the PNW home. Joanie’s own fused glass pieces are inspired by her desire to infuse the world with light, beauty, hope and joy, and are created onsite in her open studio. The best part of your visit will be ambling into her production area to talk with her about her latest designs. Joanie’s true passion is teaching and helping people create their own vision. Make sure you take a look at the class schedule and secure a spot in one of her numerous workshops. You’ll get a chance to work with Joanie one-on-one to create your very own masterpiece, even if you’ve never worked with glass before. In Joanie’s eyes, everyone is a creator!
