Donna Sauers, Neighbor

I am a full time jewelry artist who happily lives in Western Springs with my dog and studio mate Reggie.  You may have seen me and my designs at Clever Girl.

Several years ago I was given a weekend glass blowing workshop and that was my first introduction to working in hot glass.  I didn't know it at the time, but it was the event that would lead to my career change.  I took a lampworking class and found that I could make little glass "gems" in my own studio and that lead to designing jewelry.  After many years in business I decided to go back in the arts and have never looked back!

My work is carried in stores and boutiques across the country and on summer weekends you will find me under a tent at a fine art show.  Chicago and the suburbs have many wonderful art venues and artists from all over the country come to the area to exhibit their work.  I have met some incredible artists that I am now happy to call my friends.
