Steven Bay was born in Torrance, California in 1954. He received a BS in Marine Biology and a MS in Biology from California State University, Long Beach in 1982. Bay conducted ecotoxicology research until 2020 and studied the impacts of pollution on ocean life. His glass art journey began in 2010, with a desire to express his love of nature’s form and function through glass. A member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers (ISGB), Bay exhibits at the San Pedro Art Association Gallery in San Pedro, Chemers Gallery (Tustin) and The Cottage Gallery (San Juan Capistrano). and several local art fairs. Bay lives and works in San Pedro, California.
My goal for teaching is to introduce students of all ages to the beauty and excitement of making glass art. I teach flameworking (using a torch) and fusing (using a kiln). Everyone has a good time and leaves with several unique hand made pieces that show your success in learning new skills.
