Sally McCubbin finds her passion in the design, fabrication, and refinement of objects.  This devotion developed in her years studying at Sheridan College.

Since starting a residency at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre in 2005, Sally has been exhibiting her work locally and internationally, traveling to and learning from the world’s glass experts, participating in collective creative groups and shows, and generally soaking up the world’s glass, art and design cultures.

Her efforts have often been recognized with awards for both the quality of her work and her ideas and intentions.

Surprised and delighted, Sally accepted a teaching position at Sheridan College in 2009 and has subsequently been invited to teach workshops in Canada and internationally.

Further to her personal artistic pursuits, Sally has started two glass labels with her partner Aaron Oussoren. ‘TIMID glass’ is a line of limited functional glass, and ‘oussoren-mccubbin’ is an identity through which they pursue large-scale design and public art installation.
