Janet Zambai is a Wyoming native, born in Rock Springs; she has resided in Casper since the age of five. She has been working with stained glass for over twenty years. In that time, she has created pieces that are in private collections throughout the United States, and several countries around the world.

Janet is a published writer and a contributing editor for Glass  Craftsman Magazine.

Janet is mostly self-taught. She learned the basic techniques, and then incorporated them with her ideas into her own designs. She has studied with Kathy Bradford, Virginia Gabaldo, Gary Vigen & Gil Reynolds in the glass industry. In 1997 she started taking one class a semester at Casper College, as she hadn’t had any formal “Art Training”, or the opportunity to attend college at an earlier age.  Janet runs a full production art glass studio. She combines a variety of techniques into her work. These include traditional stained glass, sandblasting, painting, and fusing. She uses these techniques to create works using copper foil, brass, copper, and traditional lead came. She can make about anything in glass, any size or shape.

A large portion of her production work has been cabinet door insets. For the past several years she has created the door insets for Teton Homes, and Wyoming Building supply, averaging over a thousand cabinet doors per year.

In addition to cabinet insets, Janet creates residential, commercial and liturgical commissions. Some of the commercial clients she has created work for are, The Historic Plains Hotel, Cheyenne, Wyoming, where she created a 12’ x 18’ skylight above the lobby, 4-Aces restaurant in Glenrock; Eastgate Travel Plaza, McMurry Energy, Silver Fox Lounge, and Memorial Chapel, all in Casper; and Amoretti’s restaurant, Lander, Wyoming.
