Heather Konschuh: Glass Artist
From Farm Girl to Glass Artist: Take a Chance. Believe in Yourself.
For more than two decades, Canadian glass artist Heather Konschuh has built a career around her passion for glass—and a willingness to take chances along the way. Raised on a Saskatchewan farm, Heather never could have imagined where her love of art would take her. From earning a BFA in Glass with distinction, to studying in Australia, working in studios in Canada and England, and eventually establishing her career in Vancouver, Heather has followed opportunities wherever they have led.
Today, Heather creates vibrant hand-blown and sculptural glass inspired by nature, and teaches glassblowing at Terminal City Glass Co-op. Her work has been exhibited internationally and has included remarkable opportunities, including being selected by Laureen Harper to design the G8 and G20 charger plates presented to the First Ladies in 2010. As the featured speaker at the Arts in Partnership Conference, Heather will share the stories, challenges, unexpected opportunities and lessons that have shaped her journey as an artist. At the heart of her story is a message she hopes will inspire others to pursue their own creative paths: take a chance, believe in yourself, and don’t be afraid to see where the journey takes you.
Heather will appear at the evening mixer at our Art in Partnership Conference on September 26, 2026.
