I have the following classes available in September. In the photos you’ll see show only a small sampling — there are truly a myriad of possibilities, including pieces perfect for Christmas, Birthdays, and more. Every class allows plenty of flexibility so you can personalize your project and make something uniquely […]
I always love welcoming students into my fused glass studio, especially when I have a mix of returning students and someone new. Before we start creating, everyone completes the required liability forms—not the most exciting part of fused glass class, but we have to get the paperwork out of the […]
Another Woodland Park Mountain Arts Festival is in the books! I want to send a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth over the weekend. I loved seeing familiar faces, meeting new people, visiting with former students, and talking with so many people who enjoy handmade art. […]
When I create these small, fused glass pieces, I didn’t know what they’d eventually become—a nightlight, suncatcher, votive, or simply a little piece of art. I just start creating and see where the glass takes me! The first piece shown here was made using pressed glass and colorful glass dots, […]
Sometimes a piece of glass is so pretty that it really doesn’t need a complicated design. This beautiful pink and white Bullseye glass is a perfect example. I love the soft movement of the pink flowing through the creamy white—it almost looks like watercolor or wisps of pink floating across […]
Most of my fused glass classes are held right here in my home studio, where I keep the classes small with a maximum of five students. I love teaching this way because everyone gets plenty of individual attention, time to explore the studio, and help creating a piece that is […]
It was another wonderful day in the studio as I welcomed Jutta and Kim back for another fused glass adventure while meeting Jennifer, who was experiencing fused glass for the very first time. As always, we began by completing the liability forms before settling in for a day of creativity. […]
One of the things I truly enjoy about my fused glass business is creating custom production pieces for hotels and restaurants. This latest order was for a hotel in California that wanted beautiful blue fused glass soap dishes for its guest rooms. While the finished dishes may look simple and […]
There’s something special about spending a summer weekend in the mountains surrounded by incredible artists, live music, delicious food, and thousands of people who appreciate handmade creations. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be exhibiting at the 41st Annual Mountain Arts Festival in Woodland Park on August 8–9 at beautiful […]
I always enjoy welcoming both new and returning students into my studio, and this class was no exception! As everyone arrived, we began by completing the liability forms and getting settled in before the creativity began. Then it was time for one of my favorite traditions—each student selected a patriotic […]
Several years ago, I created a custom fused glass nightlight inspired by the beautiful stained-glass windows of a church. It became one of my favorite custom nightlights because it combined timeless architecture with the warmth and glow that only glass can provide. Recently, the customer reached out with a wonderful […]
Sometimes the smallest pieces are the ones that make the biggest impact. These little fused glass dishes measure approximately 4″ x 4″, making them the perfect size to brighten a desk, nightstand, kitchen counter, or entry table. Each one features a hand screen-printed inspirational quote, turning an everyday glass dish […]
I always enjoy welcoming Julie and Caren back to my fused glass studio. Before each class, we take a few minutes to complete the required liability forms, then it’s time for one of my favorite traditions—a free fused glass gift! This time, I had a collection of patriotic pieces to […]
One of my favorite things about fused glass is creating pieces that bring a little unexpected joy, and these whimsical plant stakes do exactly that. Whether tucked into a flowerpot on the patio, nestled among herbs in the garden, or adding color to a houseplant, each one is designed to […]
