In my December Newsletter I mentioned that I’ve changed jobs. This is germane to this post because now I won’t be going TDY (business trips) as much; therefore, I am going to have more classes each month (3 or 4). Just like my Valentine’s Couple’s class, I opened this “Your […]
In preparation for Valentines, I held a couple’s class in January 2024. Sadly, we had a cold snowy weekend so only 1 couple was able to attend. The 3 of us had a blast! What a wonderful and friendly couple. A bit of background, typically I only post my classes […]
When preparing for a new fused glass class I always make sample pieces. It helps me give my students options and it lets me verify the firing schedule. Fused glass vases (especially large ones) can be tricky to drape. Here are some of my fused glass examples. These first 2 […]
I love making fused glass bears, they are bigger than my casted hearts. I recently made a few more and wanted to share them with you. Each one is beautiful. They are a bit difficult to display, however here are just some ideas. They can also just be by themselves […]
I’m plan on offering a class with the following techniques. For this class because they are bigger pieces, I think 3 (max 4) students is best. If you would like to sign up for this class let me know. Once I get 3 students, we can set a date. Please […]
When I conduct a fused glass class, I typically create samples for inspiration. Sometimes my examples are what to do and sometimes it’s what not to do. For my Valentine couple’s class, I made several samples. Here are the little fused glass dishes I created for class. I do wish […]
Did you know when you take a Fused Glass Class with me there are several benefits in addition to taking a class with someone (me – lol) who has been creating fused glass for over 16 years. I’ve taken classes from world renown artists and know over 100 techniques; I […]
This month I gave a Fused Glass Ornament Class with 3 of my favorite students. As always I have my liability forms out as well as free gifts for the students. Earlier this month I had a home show with several free gifts so I left them out for Julie, […]
I held a private fused glass class for a wonderful group of ladies. It was quite a variety of techniques and projects. I had the liability forms out as always and because I just completed my Fused Glass home show the ladies had a lot of free fused glass options […]
I make a lot of fused glass stirrers, letter openers, plant stakes, etc and one of the best ways to display them are in the little vases I make. They are actually made out of a bottle. I use the top half for mushroom lights and the bottom make perfect […]
I just received a new shipment of glass nail files from the Czech Republic. They are durable, fuctional and vibrant. Additionally, they are much better and don’t wear down like the ones made in China. I have them in two sizes and 5 colors. I love how even more beautiful […]
I had a Fused Glass Home Show this month. I really enjoyed having my home shows. I like showing my visitors how I make my glass and where I make it. I have more fused glass artwork available when I do home shows. Here are pictures of my fused glass […]
I love making custom fused glass commercial dishes for hotels and restaurants. Last month I had two custom production orders. The first one was for a hotel in California, I made them 25 fused glass soap dishes, this is a beautiful sea green. I didn’t take a picture of them […]
I’ve been trying to use up some of my glass and finish pieces I’ve started in the past and just didn’t finish. This post shows I’m making a bit of progress. I love screen printing and I screen-printed these pieces a while back but never finished them. The first three, […]
