Art is basically something that is beautiful but doesn’t necessarily have a functional use other than esthetics. Sometimes when I create a fused glass piece […]
I love fused glass one of the fun ways to actually create unique glass is to create confetti glass. I put clear and colored glass, along with stringer, frit, etc. in a shape and fire it until it’s fully fused. I love confetti glass because it’s truly one of a […]
There are so many ways to create fused glass bowls. A new way I recently learned is called slurry’s because you create it using wet glass powder. I also added frit and vitrigraph. It’s great because you can add various colors and make various designs. These are 4 that I […]

All I can say about this fused glass “bowl” is it’s amazing!! I say bowl but it’s really a piece of art. It’s 13 inches in diameter. It’s kind of like a watercolor. There are 5 koi all hand done and in various colors. […]

During my Woodland Park show. A wonderful customer bought my multi season fused glass aspens. Sadly before she got it home it was dropped and broke. As I’ve mentioned in the past. If someone buys a large fused glass piece from me and they break it (within a couple of […]
A few blogs ago I talked about my commercial fused glass soap dishes. The one is for a hotel in California. I made 200 fused glass soap dishes. It was a lot of work. This is tough glass so it’s not your typical fusing schedule or cutting. First I cut […]
