Patricia "Sage" Holland began her path in the art of flameworking glass in 1987 while in the Pacific Northwest. Sage honed her voice in the expression of glass beadmaking for five years before moving to Arkansas to join studios with her husband, Tom Holland in 1993. They have been instrumental in sharing the history and technique of beadmaking through workshops across the country. Together they researched in multiple national and international museums as well as private collections of ancient artifacts in glass in order to write articles and create the technique list offered in their workshops. Sage and Tom began teaching at Meadowcreek in 1997 and became residents of the Meadowcreek Valley in 1999. Their work has been presented internationally including at the Denmark Contemporary Glass Bead Exhibit, and they have received awards such as the Sars Potteries Museum International Glass Bead Exhibit Journee's de/la Perle du Verre, Guest of Honor, Best in Show, Pikes Place Market, Seattle, and Inductee into The International Society of Glass Beadmakers Hall of Flame.
