About The Glitz Society
The Glitz Society is a community art studio in East Austin, started by Jillian and her art friends so more people can find their creative spark. Ego free. It's about the art.
Jillian
Jillian is the founder of The Glitz Society and the set designer, costume maker and art director behind Manic Expressive. Her work builds epic dreamscapes for editorial photoshoots, corporate events, festivals, performers and bands, and eccentric, authentic styling for people and their crews.
Glitz is the next chapter: a studio where she gets to share all of it. She hosts Stitch & Bitch every Tuesday and teaches the headdress, wreath and turban workshops.
She's also a new mama, which explains the mama energy. Come as you are, be kind, make something. Nobody is grading.
Why Glitz exists
Artists teaching artists
The people who make the work teach the work.
Share skills and ideas
A room where knowing how to do something means showing someone else.
Empower other artists
Space, events and a platform for Austin makers.
Find your spark
For anyone who hasn't made something in years. Or ever.
