At the end of last month, I had a wonderful class with two new students, Julie and Christa, along with a returning student, Glenda. We began the class the way I always do — by reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once the paperwork was taken care […]
I absolutely love hosting private fused glass classes with returning students. They already know what to expect, they understand the basics, and we can dive right into creating without hesitation. There’s a comfort and ease in those classes that feels so natural. This was one of those days. Kim has […]
I had fabulous class this month with Kendra, Nicki, and Erin— all new to fused glass. I always love welcoming beginners into the studio. There’s something special about that first experience. As always, we began by reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once the paperwork was handled, […]
This month I had such a wonderful class with two new students, Ashley and Anita, along with a returning student, Glenda. I always love that mix — fresh excitement combined with growing confidence.

Even though this class was in January I wanted to ensure I showed off the great projects my students made. Laurie and Tania returned for another creative afternoon, and longtime customer Teresa joined us for her very first class in the studio. Since it was Teresa’s first time taking a […]
I have the following classes available in February. In the photos you’ll see show only a small sampling — there are truly a myriad of possibilities, including pieces perfect for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, and more. Every class allows plenty of flexibility so you can personalize your project and […]
Earlier this month, I shared a blog post about all the preparation that went into teaching an advanced fused glass reactions class. Now it’s time to talk about the class itself. This session was made up of three of my advanced students — Jim, Julie, and Cindy — who were […]
January is a busy work month for me, but I still wanted to make sure I offered a few opportunities to get creative in my fused glass studio. While my schedule is a bit tighter than usual, I do have four fused glass class options available — and I’m really […]
This month I welcomed a fun, energetic group into the studio — Kim and her daughter Kenzie, joined by friends Laurie and Tania. Since it was everyone’s first time taking one of my classes, we began by going over studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once that was […]
One of my classes this month was especially fun because it was a family group of four — Kelly, her husband Justin, their son Nate, and his girlfriend Amber. Since this was their first time working with fused glass, we began by going over the safety guidelines and liability forms. […]
This month I taught a class with four talented women. Vanessa and Alyssa had taken classes with me before, while Tiffany and Joyce were brand new to fused glass. Before we got started, everyone reviewed and signed the liability forms — glass is beautiful, but it can definitely cut you. […]
Normally, when I teach a class, they’re fairly straightforward projects — ornaments, vases, nightlights, dishes, and similar pieces — using basic supplies like vitrigraph, dots, and murrine. But after 18 years of fusing, my relationship with glass has naturally evolved. It may sound a little bold to say, but over […]
December is always a busy month, and this year is no exception! I’m out of town the first weekend, but I still wanted to make sure there were plenty of opportunities to create something special before Christmas. Whether you’re making a gift, treating yourself, or planning a creative outing with […]
