There’s something about fall that makes me want to get creative, and it’s the perfect season to try something new! My fused glass classes are all about exploring techniques, playing with color, and creating pieces you’ll treasure or gift with pride. Most of my schedule is booked with private groups, […]
Even though it’s only September, holiday spirit filled the studio when Jim and Julie had two ornaments they had bought in Italy years ago. They wanted to recreate them in class, and when Cindy saw the designs, she was eager to make some as well. Sadly, Julie wasn’t able to […]
What a fun class this was! Three ladies joined me, each tackling a project that was a little on the challenging side. Like every class, we started with the basics—safety reminders and liability forms—before moving on to one of my favorite parts: handing out free gifts. Students got to choose […]
Welcome to another wonderful fused glass class! This one was extra special because it included Brenda, her daughter, and her aunt. Brenda has taken many classes with me over the years—in fact, she’s the reason I started teaching in the first place. So, whenever she joins a class, it makes […]
What a fun class this was! We had two brand-new students, Christine and Lisa, joining us, along with two of seasoned fusers, Cindy and Kim. Just like every class, we kicked things off with a safety talk and the liability forms, making sure everyone was comfortable and ready to create. […]
This class was particularly meaningful to me because all of the ladies are special needs moms. That connection resonates deeply, and it made our time together even more special. Like every class, we started with a quick review of safety requirements and liability forms, and then I gave them a […]
Welcome to a fabulous class where we used bullseye glass with 3 returning students (Julie, Jim, & Cindy). That being said every class begins with a quick reminder: glass is sharp and can cut you, so I always review liability and safety before we get started. I hand out a […]
September is shaping up to be an exciting month in my studio! I’m thrilled to be offering 6 different fused glass classes, each designed to spark creativity, inspire learning, and help students craft their own beautiful glass art. Whether you’re brand new to fused glass or a returning student eager […]
I often write about my pocket hearts and crosses, but another casted fused glass piece I truly love making is my fused glass bears. These bears are a bit larger than my hearts, and they hold such a special place in my heart. For me, each one symbolizes strength, resilience, […]
One of the things I adore most about fused glass is its incredible versatility. Whether you’re creating jewelry, home décor, or functional art, there’s always something new to explore and fall in love with. In this post, I’m sharing just a few fun examples of how I’ve used fused glass […]
I absolutely love creating fused glass pocket hearts—each one is a tiny symbol of love, hope, and kindness. Over the years, I’ve written numerous blog posts about the hearts I’ve created, gifted, and donated. Recently, I decided to donate a large batch of hearts to a truly deserving group of […]
I absolutely love creating fused glass jewelry, and one of my favorite enhancements is incorporating silver into my designs. It adds elegance, brilliance, and a beautiful transformation when paired with Alchemy Glass—specifically, Silver to Bronze reactive sheet glass. When layered with silver and clear glass, the alchemy magic begins: the […]
This month kept me busy with three TDY (business) trips—two to Virginia and one to Maryland. When able I try to find a little time for fun and inspiration during these trips, and on one of them, I stumbled across a wonderful local fused glass shop “Happy Hour Glass Works“. […]
Back in June, I shared a blog post all about my fascination with glow glass—glass that stores light and glows in the dark, adding a magical touch to any fused glass piece. I featured some of my favorite fused glass creations in that post, and today I’m excited to expand […]
