Glasgow glass artist Anita Jenkins meets Tori Amos after singer purchases her work
On Wednesday, during a concert in Glasgow, Tori Amos made a stop at the Scottish Design Exchange, where she acquired several glass artworks from local artist Anita Jenkins. She requested store manager Hannah to facilitate a meeting with Jenkins, inviting her to that night’s show at the Royal Concert Hall. Jenkins, who has been operating her glass art business, Glass Apple, for approximately 15 years, initially believed the call was a joke. Both women attended the concert with their partners and received backstage passes to meet Amos. In her dressing room, Amos showcased Jenkins's artwork and praised its concepts. Additionally, she purchased more pieces for her family and crew, providing a financial boost to Jenkins while promoting her 18th studio album, 'In Times of Dragons.'
