Ginny Ruffner (born 1952) is a pioneering American glass artist based in Seattle, Washington.[1] She is known for her use of the lampworking (or flameworking) technique and for her use of borosilicate glass in her painted glass sculptures.[2][3][4]
Many of her ideas begin with drawings. Her works also include pop-up books, large-scale public art, and augmented reality.[5][6]
Ruffner was named a Master of the Medium by the James Renwick Alliance in 2007. Ruffner was elected as a Fellow of the American Craft Council in 2010.[7] She received The Glass Art Society's Lifetime Award in 2019.[8]
