Say It Kids! Camp is led by the owner and artist, Sam Nguyen. Sam is an educator, life-long artist and tinkerer and she is now focused on connecting with her community through art. She loves sharing a vision with clients and bringing a part of their story to each piece. Stories are powerful, and all of her work is grounded in bringing stories to life through glass. She is a member of the American Glass Guild, and recognized local artist in the Triangle area. When she isn’t slinging glass at the studio, she is teaching! In fact, she is still a local public educator! (yes she does sleep). As an educator, she knows the power and joy that comes with new learning and is excited to share her expertise and love for glasswork with anyone who will listen. Whether it is helping local institutions learn more about the history of their class (like some kind of weird art detective), or taking her skills to the next level (who doesn’t want to play with fire?), she is always willing to hike up that learning curve. In addition to her studio life, she is also the mom of two amazingly creative boys, and partner in crime (she’s the trouble maker) to the most supportive of husbands, and nurturer of various critters. (bees, and chickens, and OMG is that a lizard in the house!?)
