Ridgewalker Glass

Teri Walker is a glassblower, sculptor, and painter from Toronto, Canada. Chad Ridgeway is a metal sculptor and chef from Topeka, Kansas, who lived and worked in the culinary industry in Paris for 10 years. When they met and fell in love in 2007, suddenly the possibilities seemed endless for them to create sculptures together and combine skills. Teri taught Chad everything she knows about glass and now, together, they are a force in the New Orleans glass community. After getting married in 2009, Ridgewalker Glass became a reality! This talented duo recreates the world as they see it, drawing inspiration from the culture and wildlife of Southern Louisiana. Combining glass and metal, their whimsical, one-of-a-kind sculptures draw on the many traditions and costuming of Mardi Gras and New Orleans.
