Meet Minouche Waring
Minouche is an avid explorer of life. Born in Egypt, schooling in England and a career in New York Advertising. She even styled the very first JCPenney commercials. Through her travels and explorations, she studied dance with Martha Graham, focusing on the Horton technique. Minouche fell in love with Flamenco and the theater, particularly Stanislawski - Maria Alba, and Andrea del Conte. She also participated in Shigeko Suga’s ‘flamenco musicals’ at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club and the Pan Asian Repertory Theatre.
She travelled to India and came home inspired to make art. This started a journey to create 1178designs. The art studio was founded in 1978 and produces contemporary glass works of art and stained glass decorative objects. The studio has received awards from Metropolitan Home Magazine and Glass Master Guild.
A lifetime of travel and spiritual development makes Minouche a unique SITA Chief. We’re honored to feature her Q+A with our team.
