Artist, EducatorBiography
Margaret Glavina moved to Winnipeg from Vancouver in 2007. She graduated with honours from Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 1988. Her entry into art school was in ceramics, but while studying also explored sculpture, drawing, printmaking, painting, and conceptual art. After graduating from Emily Carr, she received grants from the Canada Council and BC Arts Council to complete three major sculpture installations using various media, such as carved wood, fabricated glass, and found objects. Margaret Glavina was an artist-in-residence at Capilano College in North Vancouver where she created an installation of bronze hanging sculptures that was exhibited with a sound component and theatre lighting. Since moving to Winnipeg, she has returned to making functional ceramics, inspired by the work of Kathryn Koop. She has also been continuing her exploration of other mediums such as drawing, collage, and painting. She discovered her love of teaching art when she was hired by Art City in 2013 as drawing instructor, outreach teacher to adults and children, and facilitator in the Art City building on West Broadway.Adapted from Centre for Craft, 2023
