Tracy Womack is the owner of TraSea’s Glassworks and an artist with thirty years of experience in working with glass. The type of work that Tracy does is called flamework or lampwork because the glass is heated in a torch flame. Although she has made many forms over the years, she specializes in marine life and seascapes captured in crystal glass.

Each piece is hand formed from a solid rod of glass which is heated in the flame until molten and shaped
into the desired form. The unique colors are achieved using glass frits (ground up glass) and powders.
No two pieces are identical. The variances in size and coloration are to bwe expected in original artwork
and only add to the enchantment of Tracy’s pieces.

Tracy spent her childhood growing up in Miami where she fell in love with the ocean. In her early teens
her family moved to a farm in Arkansas but Tracy never forgot the beach. She studied Fine Arts at the
University of Arkansas and went on to learn the art of flame working in Eureka Springs, AR. Tracy resided
in Germany for four years where she refined her style by participating in weekly markets. Currently
residing in St. Augustine, FL with her partner, two dogs, two cats, and a few fish, Tracy works at her
home studio.

“After all these years I still love working with glass. It is such an alive medium; the way it flows in the fire
and dance with the light once it cools”-Tracy Womack

February 14, 2010 is when we found TraSea’s jewelry. We knew instantly that the lovely wearable
miniatures by Tracy Womack would be a perfect addition to the many beautifully handcrafted items
currently available at By the Bay Gallery.
