About Marcela

I am a glass artist devoted to creating modern Judaica that blends beauty, meaning, and tradition. My artistic journey began in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and 22 years ago I immigrated to Canada, settling on the east coast in Prince Edward Island. For about ten years, I worked with the Atlantic Ocean in front of my eyes every day, refining my fused glass techniques while studying with renowned artists in New York and Montreal. Later, I moved to the picturesque town of Cobourg, and six years ago, I made Toronto my home.

For many years, I created installations, sculptures, and luxury glass pieces, and I also taught workshops and masterclasses. But everything changed one day at the start of the pandemic. A young woman knocked on my studio door, holding her baby and a tiny blue velvet pouch. She told me that two years earlier she and her husband had been married in Jerusalem and had purchased the Chuppah glass over there. She asked if I could create a mezuzah with the shards. I had made mezuzahs before, but never from Chuppah glass. I said, “Sure!” and began testing the shards with my 20+ years of experience as a glass artist. And just like that, the first Chuppah Glass Mezuzah was born.

Since then, my art has naturally focused exclusively on Chuppah Glass Art. I pour my love for my Jewish faith, weddings, and glass artistry into every piece I create. Each mezuzah, menorah, seder plate, or custom creation carries the magic and joy of that Chuppah moment, becoming a treasured heirloom that tells a couple’s story for generations.

Now based in Toronto, my studio is a place where tradition and creativity meet. I work closely with clients to bring their vision to life, crafting pieces that celebrate Jewish milestones and life’s most meaningful moments. When a piece leaves my studio, it carries a piece of my heart.

Explore my collection of handcrafted Judaica and discover how these heirlooms can bring elegance, meaning, and lasting beauty to your Jewish home or wedding celebration.
